John Muir & Kaiser Hospitals Earn 'A' Grades In New Survey
The Leapfrog Group graded all California's hospitals based on more than 30 measures of patient safety.
Several hospitals in California received top marks, but others didn't quite measure up in the Spring 2022 Hospital Safety Grades report released Tuesday by The Leapfrog Group, an independent nonprofit health care watchdog group.
|
|
Earning "A" grades in Walnut Creek are Kaiser Foundation Hospital and John Muir Medical Center. The latest ratings reflect care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Leapfrog Group said its and other groups' research showed the pandemic reversed years of progress in patient safety.
