Bryn Mawr Hospital Keeps 'A' Safety Grade From Watchdog Group

BRYN MAWR, PA — One of the Main Line's busiest healthcare facilities has earned its sixth perfect safety grade in a row from an independent nonprofit health care watchdog.

The Leapfrog Group issued its newest health safety grades for hospitals around the nation.

And Main Line Health's Bryn Mawr Hospital earned its sixth "A" grade in a row.

Leapfrog gave Lankenau an A in its spring 2023 ranks, maintaining the A grade since fall 2020.

"We are honored to be recognized across all four of our acute care hospitals with this top grade of A," Jack Lynch, CEO and president of Main Line Health, said Wednesday. "The prestigious recognition belongs to each-and-every one of our Main Line Health staff members who provide safe, high-quality, and equitable care on a daily basis."

Main Line Health's three other facilities — Lankenau Medical Center, Riddle Hospital, and Paoli Hospital — all also earned A grades.

Bryn Mawr Hospital was ranked "better than average" in numerous healthcare factors, including dangerous objects left in patients' bodies, communications, hospital staff responsiveness, adequate staffing, and more.

However, Leapfrog said Bryn Mawr Hospital ranked "worse than average" for accidental cuts and tears, dangerous blood clots, handwashing, and UTIs.

Leapfrog graded the facility a C in spring 2020.
