Achieving an “A” grade is considered the mark of excellence for students.
So it’s only fitting that the same holds true for hospitals.
University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center has received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit upholding the standard of patient safety in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
This national distinction celebrates UH Geauga Medical Center’s achievements in prioritizing patient safety by protecting patients from preventable harm and errors, according to a news release. The new grades reflect performance primarily during the height of the pandemic.
“UH Geauga’s high-performing teams work daily toward improving patient outcomes,” stated Jason Glowczewski, chief operating officer of UH Geauga, Conneaut and Geneva medical centers, in the release. “All caregivers are encouraged to actively advocate for their patients, which leads to our culture of shared responsibility and accountability.”
The News-Herald urges University Hospital Geauga Medical Center to keep up the excellent work and maintain that “A” grade on its next Leapfrog evaluation.
