Duke continues to earn top marks for patient safety from Leapfrog
For nine consecutive evaluation periods, Duke University Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital and Duke Raleigh Hospital received top marks for patient safety and reduction of preventable harm from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit organization operated by employers and other large purchasers of health care benefits.
The “A” ratings for the fall 2022 Leapfrog survey are part of the group’s hospital safety ratings, which are given to nearly 3,000 hospitals across the country every six months. Only 29% of hospitals nationwide have achieved Leapfrog's Fall 2022 Hospital Safety Class "A." In North Carolina, Duke University Health System hospitals were among 38 hospitals to achieve this grade.
Another “A” grade from Leapfrog demonstrates our team’s commitment to patient safety and the highest level of care across all three of our hospitals. Our team’s hard work contributes to Duke’s reputation as a premier health system.”
Craig Albanese, MD, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Duke University Health System
A panel of experts used more than 20 performance measures to determine a letter grade ranging from “A” to “F.” This includes overall performance in patient safety and the prevention of medical errors, injuries, accidents and infections. The letter grade allows patients to make informed health care decisions before receiving treatment.
