When it comes to patient safety, Banner Casa Grande Medical Center ranks among the top healthcare providers in the nation, according to Leapfrog Group, a national patient safety watchdog organization that recently released its fall 2017 Hospital Safety Grades. According to Leapfrog, Banner Casa Grande was one of 832 hospitals nationwide awarded an ‘A’ grade for its commitment to keeping patients safe and meeting the highest safety standards in the U.S.
“This recognition is testament to what we strive for each and every day — excellent care, exceptional patient safety, and our focus on providing the best overall customer service,” said Rona Curphy, CEO of Banner Casa Grande. “As we uphold our mission of making healthcare easier so life can be better, all of our healthcare providers are committed to maintaining a strong culture of patient safety so we can best serve the medical needs of our community.”
The Leapfrog Safety Grade uses 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It is calculated by top patient safety experts, peer reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. A full description of the data and methodology used in determining grades is available online at hospitalsafetygrade.org/
“It takes consistent, unwavering dedication to patients to achieve the highest standards of patient safety. An ‘A’ Safety Grade recognizes hospitals for this accomplishment,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We congratulate the clinicians, board, management and staff of Banner Casa Grande Medical Center for showing the country what it means to put patient safety first.”
