SHARON REGIONAL RECEIVES TOP RANKING FOR PATIENT SAFETY
Sharon Regional Medical Center – a physician-owned and led hospital – has been awarded the top “A” grade for patient safety by the Leapfrog Group, which as part of its Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade evaluates more than 2,600 hospitals on how well they keep patients safe from harm.
Sharon Regional is among the top-performing hospitals to receive this honor for Spring 2021.
The single-letter grade is derived from up to 27 national patient safety measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, as well as information from other supplemental data sources – a methodology that has been peer reviewed and published in the Journal of Patient Safety.
Sharon Regional attributes its top grades to strategic investments in quality initiatives, staff training and technology that enhance patients’ experience and empower frontline healthcare heroes to provide world-class care.
“Sharon Regional Medical Center is firmly committed to the safety of our patients and betterment of our overall community, with our A-grade hospital offering best-in-class practices and key learnings that are being implemented across our organization,” said a hospital spokesperson.
