Inland Earns Straight A’s for Patient Safety
Date Given:
5/8/2015 12:00:00 AM
Inland Hospital has been recognized again for its dedication to patient safety by being awarded an “A” grade in the Spring 2015
Hospital Safety Score
, which rates how well hospitals protect patients from preventable medical errors, injuries and infections within the hospital. Inland has received straight A scores for safety since the program began in 2012.
This “A” grade is one of the most meaningful honors a hospital can achieve, and one of the most valuable indicators for patients looking for a safe place to receive care. The Hospital Safety Score is the gold standard rating for patient safety, compiled under the guidance of the nation’s leading patient safety experts and administered by
The Leapfrog Group
, a national, nonprofit hospital safety watchdog. The first and only hospital safety rating to be peer-reviewed in the
Journal of Patient Safety
, the Hospital Safety Score is free to the public and designed to give consumers information they can use to protect themselves and their families when facing a hospital stay.
“We are very proud to have received straight A’s ever since the Hospital Safety Score program’s inception three years ago,” said John Dalton, Inland Hospital’s President/CEO. “The providers and staff of Inland make safety and quality a priority with every patient, every day - and I’m always humbled by their excellence.”
“Inland’s “A” grade validates its achievement in preventing harm within the hospital, and we are proud to recognize the efforts of the care providers and staff,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, which administers the Hospital Safety Score. “Patient safety requires constant vigilance, and we encourage Inland and all other “A” hospitals to continue demonstrating unrelenting commitment to patients by consistently providing a safe environment for care.”
Developed under the guidance of Leapfrog’s Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single A, B, C, D, or F score, representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,500 U.S. general hospitals were assigned scores in April 2015, with about 31-percent receiving an A grade. The Hospital Safety Score is fully transparent, offering a full analysis of the data and methodology used in determining grades on the website. Now, for the first time, patients can also review their hospital’s past safety performance alongside its current grade on the Hospital Safety Score site, allowing them to determine which local hospitals have the best track record in patient safety and which have demonstrated consistent improvement.
To see Inland’s full score, and to access consumer-friendly tips for patients and loved ones visiting the hospital,
visit the Hospital Safety Score website
. Consumers can also download the free Hospital Safety Score mobile app for Apple and Android devices.
