Detroit Medical Center’s Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital and DMC
Harper-Hutzel Hospital both received Leapfrog’s top A rating in The
Leapfrog Group’s Fall 2018 Safety Score, demonstrating the
hospitals’ continued commitment to delivering safe, high-quality
patient care.
Twice each year, the Leapfrog Group assigns A through F scores
to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals based on their ability to prevent
errors, injuries, accidents and infections. This Leapfrog Group
Hospital Safety Score gives consumers a scorecard rating they can
use to make health care decisions for themselves or a loved
one.
Huron-Valley and Harper-Hutzel Hospital are part of an elite
group of hospitals in Michigan and across the country to earn
Leapfrog’s top A score. Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital is 1 of 42
hospitals in the U.S. to receive straight A's since the inception
of the Safety Grades (14 consecutive reporting periods).
“We are very proud of the focused dedication our team has
demonstrated to consistently earn top ratings from agencies who
oversee Huron Valley’s patient safety and quality,” said Karima
Bentounsi, Chief Executive Officer, Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital.
“Our hospital’s long legacy is based on putting patients first and
a sincere commitment to individuals and families of our community.
Our hospital team, clinical providers and physicians offer some of
the best care around, and this award recognizes their tremendous
dedication.”
The DMC remains focused on driving improvements in care delivery
and patient satisfaction, as well as continuing its work on
developing innovative treatments through its research, impacting
people in southeast Michigan and beyond.
“With the fall rating, our Harper-Hutzel teams have demonstrated
their consistent focus on patient safety and quality,” said Scott
Steiner, FACHE, Chief Executive Officer of DMC Harper University
and DMC Hutzel Women's hospitals. “We are proud of this A rating as
it reveals that our team’s perseverance to delivering safe care is
in alignment with best practices.”
Health care quality and safety scoring methods, such as Leapfrog
ratings and other publicly available ratings, are used by the DMC
to further enhance its care delivery processes in a manner that
best meets the needs of the communities served by the DMC health
system.
“At the Detroit Medical Center our focus is on safe patient
care,” said Dr. Anthony Tedeschi, CEO of Detroit Medical Center.
“These A ratings are an additional example of how our hospitals are
applying industry best practices in caring for those individuals
and families who entrust their care to us.”
Huron-Valley and Harper-Hutzel are core hospitals within the
Detroit Medical Center health system.
