Mullica Hill, NJ (May 10, 2022) – Inspira Medical Centers Mullica Hill and Vineland, part of Inspira Health, both received an “A” for the Spring 2022 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. This national distinction recognizes both hospitals achievements in protecting patients from preventable harm.
“At Inspira, we are committed to providing a high-quality, safe and compassionate experience to all our patients and the community,” said Amy Mansue, president and CEO of Inspira Health. “We are grateful to The Leapfrog Group for their focus on patient safety, and I am extremely proud of the Inspira family for their commitment to providing excellent care and keeping our patients and visitors safe.”
The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over thirty national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harm to patients. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
“As our health care system continues to feel the strain of the pandemic, I thank the workforce and leadership of Inspira Medical Centers Mullica Hill and Vineland for sustained commitment to patient safety, day in and day out,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “An ‘A’ Safety Grade is an outstanding achievement, and one that is not possible without a 24/7 effort by the entire health care workforce to protect patients from harm. This community should be proud.”
