Hospital improvement ‘sluggish’ despite some stars

The Leapfrog Group has released the second round of its biannual hospital safety scores, which show “sluggish” improvement in patient safety among the nation’s hospitals.

Despite some improvement, Leapfrog says hospitals are performing worse in critical areas like the rate of foreign objects left in a patient after surgery and other critical measures that cause hospital acquired conditions. But 133 hospitals, about 5% of all graded facilities, have earned an A, the highest grade, in every score since spring 2012.
