In the recently released Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade report cards, Sarasota Memorial Hospital earned its sixth consecutive “A” for keeping patients safe from medical errors, infections, accidents and other preventable harm. The Leapfrog Group assigned U.S. hospitals safety grades based on their performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harm to patients in their care. In addition to receiving six straight A’s in Leapfrog’s hospital safety report cards, SMH is the only hospital in Florida to have consistently earned the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ highest five-star quality award since the rating system launched in 2016. It also was named one of the world’s best hospitals in a global ranking compiled for the first time by Newsweek magazine.
