HOWELL, Mich. (Nov. 18, 2024) – Trinity Health Livingston has received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for their 2024 fall scorecard.
The Leapfrog Group assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on more than 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems that hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“As Livingston County’s only hospital, we are blessed to have a high performing team that is committed to providing patients with the safest, most reliable care possible,” said John O’Malley, president of Trinity Health Livingston and Trinity Health Medical Center — Brighton. “Every colleague plays a crucial role in ensuring our patients receive safe, effective, and high-quality care, and this recognition reinforces our shared mission. Providing safe care is a responsibility of every team member, and we are dedicated to continuously improving our practices to ensure the well-being of every patient that entrusts us with their care.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade is a significant accomplishment for Trinity Health Livingston,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It reflects enormous dedication to your patients and their families, and your whole community should be proud. I extend my congratulations to Trinity Health Livingston, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
