Two Munson Healthcare hospitals received the top grade from The Leapfrog Group for Fall 2020.
The twice yearly report card from the hospital quality organization was released today.
Munson Healthcare Cadillac Hospital and Munson Healthcare Grayling Hospital both received “A” marks while Munson Healthcare Manistee Hospital, Munson Healthcare Otsego Memorial Hospital, and Munson Medical Center received “B” grades.
“These grades reflect the commitment of our health system to continued high-quality care for all the communities we serve across northern Michigan,” said Ed Ness, president and CEO of Munson Healthcare. “This has been a challenging year and I commend our staff and physicians across the health system for their great work.”
The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog group that examines hospital quality and safety, assigning an A, B, C, D, and F grade based on how safe the facility is for patients.
The Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Grade was developed under the guidance of a national panel and uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to grade hospitals across the nation twice each year.
The hospital safety grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed with results that are free and accessible to the public.
