• Fall 2018 Leapfrog Colorado Hospital Safety Grades

The Leapfrog Group
Founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, the Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care. The Leapfrog Hospital Survey collects and transparently reports hospital performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog's other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.
Explanation of the Hospital Safety Grades
• 41 Hospitals received grades of the 72 hospitals in the state.
• CO ranked 9th nationally for Fall 2018. Ranked 6th for Spring 2018.
• Leapfrog Top Hospital Award-Teaching: Saint Joseph Hospital.
• Leapfrog calculates a Safety Grade for general acute care hospitals for which there is sufficient publicly available data.
• Leapfrog Group is not able to calculate a Safety Grade for:
• Hospitals missing data for more than 7 process/structural measures or more than 5 outcomes measures. This is the reason a majority of CO rural hospitals do not receive a grade.
• Critical access hospitals; Specialty hospitals; Free-standing pediatric hospitals; Federal hospitals; US territory hospitals; MH, LTC & Rehab facilities.
