“Achieving such high-quality outcomes requires unwavering commitment, continuous improvement, and a culture that prioritizes the well-being of every individual,” Dr. Rohit Bhalla, senior vice president and chief clinical and quality officer at Stamford Health, said in a prepared statement. “Thank you to our compassionate caregivers for their steadfast dedication to our patients’ safety.”

Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 20 performance measures reflecting rates of complications, adverse events, and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.

“Each year, patient safety and quality are at the top of our priority list, and this achievement reinforces that,” added Kathleen Silard, President and CEO, in a prepared statement. “I am very grateful for the emphasis our teams place on person-centered care and high-quality outcomes.”

“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade reflects enormous dedication to patient safety,” noted Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “I extend my congratulations to Stamford Hospital, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for creating a culture where patients come first.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is fully transparent and free to the public.

Grades are updated twice annually in the fall and spring. To see Stamford Hospital’s full grade details and to access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, visit HospitalSafetyGrade.org.
