New Jersey hospitals ranked 14th safest in the country based on how well they prevented infections, accidents and errors and communicated with their patients, the latest Leapfrog Hospital Safety report card released on Thursday found.
The scores for 68 acute care hospitals 26 A’s, 26 B’s, 15 C’s and one D helped New Jersey improve its standing from last fall, when it was 17th best, according to the report. Ten hospitals improved a grade and four hospitals slipped a grade. No hospital flunked. East Orange General Hospital scored the lowest with a D, the report said.
