In the five overall categories, Hunterdon Medical Center achieved Best Hospital Scores in four areas including Problems After Surgery, Practices to Prevent Errors, Safety Problems, and Doctors, Nurses & Hospital Staff. They achieved Above Average Scores in the area of Infections. This year's rating demonstrates an improvement over last fall's "B" grade. "The entire workforce of the nearly 3,000 caregivers who represent Hunterdon Healthcare places patient safety first and foremost in their performance every day. Our "A" rating represents a commitment to patient safety and quality healthcare outcomes that meet not just our standards, but national ones," stated Patrick Gavin, President, and CEO of Hunterdon Healthcare. "We will continue to strive to be among the best and safest hospitals in the nation because our patients and our community deserve the best and safest care." Developed under the guidance of an Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D, and F grades to approximately 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. "Our goal is to inform patients about local hospitals with the best safety measures in place and the strongest records," said Leah Binder, President, and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "Every hospital can earn an 'A' grade, and we're proud of the hospitals that are committed to making an effort to protect patients from harm."
