Setting the Standard for Patient Safety
We're Proud to be Recognized as 1 of 12!
The Leapfrog Group has awarded Baptist Golden Triangle an ‘A’ rating - the gold standard for patient safety. As of May 2024, we are 1 of only 12 hospitals in the country to be awarded straight A's for patient safety since grading began in 2012.
Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade
Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades provide consumer-friendly, patient-reported data and research to help you make informed decisions about a critical aspect of your hospital stay – safety. They are assigned to nearly 3,000 general acute-care hospitals across the nation twice annually based on up to 30 national performance measures, including:
- Preventing surgical errors, falls and patient injuries
- Protection from common hospital infections, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C. diff)
- The responsiveness of the hospital staff
- Communication about medicines
- Communication with nurses and doctors
Now, more than ever, you and your loved ones’ safety are a top priority at Baptist Golden Triangle. And we have the grades to prove it.
