Hospital Safety Grades: Which Ones Passed and Which Ones Failed?

Nineteen Michigan hospitals received a lower safety grade this spring than they did last fall using criteria like how well their caregivers protect patients against preventable injuries. Of the state’s 82 assessed hospitals, there were 22 that received an “A” for spring 2023, which was three fewer than fall 2022 and below the national average, according to data published Wednesday, May 3, by Leapfrog Group. Grades are based on more than 30 measures, including how well hospitals protect patients from preventable medical errors, accidents, injuries, and infections.
