Military Hospitals Receive “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade
The Defense Health Agency announced today that 15 military hospitals received an “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for fall 2024, demonstrating DHA’s continued commitment to safe, high-quality care, and transparency. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is a letter grade program that rates a hospital’s patient safety measures through more than 30 national performance indicators. Each indicator reflects errors, accidents, injuries, and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent patient harm. This enables all hospitals, including military, to publicly report their progress in quality and safety.
