NYU Langone Health receives an A” for patient safety from Leapfrog

NYU Langone Health has once again received an “A” for patient safety, with Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion, NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn and NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island each earning the top grade in the Fall 2022 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. These NYU Langone brick-and-mortar locations have consistently received an “A” since fall 2020. Notably, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn remains the only hospital in the county with an “A” from Leapfrog.

Our repeated “A’s” from Leapfrog reflect our commitment to providing patients with a safe environment, world-class care, and state-of-the-art practices and technologies, regardless of where in our system they receive care. Awards like these give our patients the independent reassurance they need to place themselves and their loved ones in our hands.”

Robert I. Grossman, MD, chief executive officer of NYU Langone Health and dean of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine

Leapfrog's top grades are the latest indicators of the outstanding quality and safety standards that are the hallmark of the institution. This year, NYU Langone ranked first in New York and third in the country in US News & World Report's Best Hospitals rankings. It has also received a five-star rating for safety, quality and patient experience from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and received top rankings from Vizient, Inc. for overall patient safety and quality of care.

The Leapfrog Group assigns a letter grade of “A” to “F” to eligible hospitals across the country and publishes updated ratings every six months. The grade is based on a hospital's performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harm to patients. It was developed under the guidance of a national expert panel using up to 30 national performance measures of publicly available hospital safety data.
