FRISCO – Medical City Frisco received an “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for spring 2022. This national distinction recognizes Medical City Frisco’s achievements in protecting patients from preventable harm and error in the hospital.
“We are honored to receive this superior recognition of our unwavering dedication to safe patient care,” says Patrick Rohan, Medical City Frisco’s CEO. “The national rating supports Medical City Frisco’s position as the destination of choice for healthcare excellence in our community.”
The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over thirty national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
“As our health care system continues to feel the strain of the pandemic, I thank the workforce and leadership of Medical City Frisco for sustained commitment to patient safety, day in and day out,” says Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “An ‘A’ Safety Grade is an outstanding achievement and one that is not possible without a 24/7 effort by the entire health care workforce to protect patients from harm. This community should be proud.”
Medical City Frisco is one of ten Medical City Healthcare hospitals to earn a Leapfrog A rating, including Medical City Dallas, Medical City Denton, Medical City Fort Worth, Medical City Frisco, Medical City Las Colinas, Medical City Lewisville, Medical City McKinney, Medical City Plano and Medical City Weatherford.
