The Economic Alliance for Michigan, a nonprofit group comprised of some of the state’s largest employers and unions, and the Leapfrog Group announced the fall 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.
The independent grading system assigns A, B, C, D and F letter grades to general acute-care hospitals in the U.S. based on their ability to protect patients from avoidable errors, injuries, accidents and infections.
West Michigan hospitals that earned an A grade include Bronson Battle Creek, Metro Health in Wyoming, Spectrum Health United Hospital in Greenville and Spectrum Health Zeeland.
“Patient safety should be a priority for all residents of Michigan, especially during the pandemic. Costly medical errors are an unnecessary burden for patients and employers,” said Bret Jackson, president of the Economic Alliance of Michigan (EAM). “The EAM strives to work with hospitals, employers, policymakers and other stakeholders in our state to ensure high-quality, safe care.”
