See how NJ hospitals fared on Leapfrog Group report card
Jessica Perry//May 15, 2023
New Jersey’s hospitals all received passing marks in The Leapfrog Group’s Spring 2023, Hospital Safety Grades—with no facilities recording any Ds or Fs.
That placed the Garden State at No. 1 nationally in the recently released assessment with the most A grades (35), representing more than half of the state’s hospitals. Nationwide, just 29% of facilities earned an A.
Nearly 3,000 hospitals participate in the program that measures preventable errors, injuries, accidents and infections on more than 30 national measures. According to The Leapfrog Group, which represents hundreds of employers and purchasers of health care, it is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harms to patients.
New Jersey was the only state nationwide to have 100% participation in the voluntary program with 68 hospitals graded. (The New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute noted that Leapfrog was not able to assign a Safety Grade to Salem Medical Center and Bergen New Bridge Medical Center.)
