25 Kaiser Permanente hospitals – including 11 in Southern California – are among the nation’s safest at which to receive care, according to the Leapfrog Group’s latest Hospital Safety Grades report.
While nearly two-thirds of Kaiser Permanente’s hospitals are rated A, less than one-third of the nation’s 2,600 hospitals that participated in the study received an A rating. The report utilizes hospital performance data collected by organizations like the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Scores are based on more than 2 dozen measures related to patient care, medication errors, and infection prevention and released to help people make informed health care decisions. More at Leapfrog.
