The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog group, announced PMC’s A grade as part of its fall 2022 Hospital Safety Grades.
The grades are based on more than 30 performance measures related to outcomes such as hospital-acquired infections, surgical errors, and patient falls, as well as the systems that hospitals have in place to help prevent harm.
“I want to commend the physicians and staff members who support care at the hospital, as well as the healthcare quality specialists at Penn Medicine Princeton Health who monitor our clinical performance,” said Princeton Health CEO James Demetriades. “The hospital safety grade is a comprehensive, evidence-based evaluation. Earning an A takes a commitment to patient safety and continuous quality improvement throughout the organization.”
