RWJ Somerset has achieved an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from the Leapfrog Group in their fall ratings announced today. It is our fifth consecutive “A” rating and our 11th overall, underscoring our commitment as a High Reliability Organization (HRO).
Developed under the guidance of a Blue Ribbon National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public.
Thank you to our entire team of physicians, nurses, staff and leadership for your continued commitment to providing our patients and their families with the highest quality care and the safest hospital experience.
