All of AdventHealth’s Central Florida hos pitals earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent na tional nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 performance meas ures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
The “A” grades went to AdventHealth Alta monte Springs; AdventHealth Apopka; Ad ventHealth Celebration; AdventHealth East Orlando; AdventHealth Kissimmee; Ad ventHealth Orlando; AdventHealth Winter Garden; and AdventHealth Winter Park.
“Patient safety is at the core of our mission at AdventHealth. I’m proud the commitment to excellence is embedded across all our hospi tals in Central Florida,” said Brian Adams, President and CEO of AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division. “To once again be recog nized by The Leapfrog Group speaks to our team members’ devotion and skill in provid ing whole-person care.”
“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade is a significant accomplishment for Ad ventHealth,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It reflects enor mous dedication to your patients and their families, and your whole community should be proud. I extend my congratulations to Ad ventHealth’s Central Florida Division, its lead ership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infec tions and injuries that kill more than 500 pa tients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
