SARASOTA, Fla. (North Port Sun) - Area hospitals have gotten good grades in new rankings released this week by The Leapfrog Group.
Our coverage partners from the North Port Sun are reporting four hospitals in Sarasota County received As, three hospitals in Manatee County got Bs and Cs, and two hospitals in Charlotte County received Cs in the latest safety ratings from the Leapfrog Group.
Grades are based on two sets of standards: outcome measures, which include “errors, accidents and injuries that this hospital has publicly reported,” and process measures, which include “the management structures and procedures a hospital has in place to protect patients from errors, accidents and injuries,” the report states.
