The Leapfrog Group released its fall 2020 Hospital Safety Grades Dec. 14, assigning "A" through "F" letter grades to more than 2,600 acute care hospitals for patient safety performance.
Leapfrog has assigned letter grades to hospitals based on their patient safety performance twice annually since spring 2012, with 29 hospitals maintaining the highest possible grade 18 consecutive times.
The data for this safety grades update does not yet include hospitals' performance during the height of COVID-19, Leapfrog said. This spring's update will be the first to incorporate pandemic response periods.
