Georgia’s hospital safety ranking goes down
About one-fourth of Georgia hospitals received an “A” grade on patient safety in newly published ratings.
That percentage, determined by the Leapfrog Group, is down from this past autumn, when one-third of Georgia hospitals got an “A” in the organization’s ratings.
The ratings from Leapfrog, a patient safety organization founded by employers, are issued semi-annually, in fall and spring.
In the new survey, Georgia came in 35th among states in the overall percentage of top-performing hospitals. The state’s hospitals were ranked 10th in the fall Leapfrog analysis.
