Twin County Regional Healthcare Earns An ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group

Twin County Regional Healthcare earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries, and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. 

 “This A grade from Leapfrog is a testament to the commitment to top-quality care that Twin County Regional Healthcare has for our community,” said Sudandra Ratnasamy, CEO at TCRH. “It is the latest validation of the dedication and skill of our employees and medical staff, and I want to congratulate everyone on the Twin County team for earning this top grade.”

“Everyone who works at Twin County Regional Healthcare should be proud of this ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade,” said Leah Binder, president, and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It takes complete dedication at every level and an ironclad commitment to putting patients first. I thank Twin County Regional Healthcare, its leadership, clinicians, staff, and volunteers for caring so deeply for its patients and their safety.”

 The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program focused exclusively on preventable medical errors, infections, and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day nationally. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is peer-reviewed, fully transparent, and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
