Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, the only hospital in Mississippi and one of only 12 hospitals in the United States to achieve straight As for the 26th consecutive time.
The Leapfrog Group assigns grades from “A” to “F” based on more than 30 performance measures. These measures include a hospital’s ability to prevent errors and maintain strong safety systems. This grade reflects the hospital’s dedication to preventing errors, injuries, accidents and infections.
The Leapfrog Group focuses its Hospital Safety Grade on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries, which kill more than 500 patients daily in the United States. The program undergoes peer review, ensures full transparency and is free to the public. The Leapfrog Group updates the grades twice a year, in the fall and spring.
