Memorial Hospital Miramar was the only South Florida facility in the watchdog’s Spring 2021 straight “A” class of 27 hospitals, meaning it has scored an “A” on every report card since the group began grading hospitals in 2012.
The group says that straight “A” hospitals were far better prepared in the painstaking fight against COVID-19 due to their focus on patient safety as a top institutional priority.
“Hospitals with a consistent pattern of protecting patients from errors, accidents, and injuries, like these straight ‘A’ hospitals, seem to have been more prepared when the pandemic hit,” said Leah Binder, the watchdog group’s president and CEO.
