HONOLULU — The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit health care transparency advocate, has awarded Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center an A grade in its fall 2023 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade ratings program.
The Hospital Safety Grade is an initiative that measures the overall performance of nearly 3,000 hospitals nationwide by assigning letter grades to each entity based on its record of patient safety. The grades are peer-reviewed and free to the public to act as a resource for patients and their families to make informed health care decisions. The ratings program is administered in the spring and fall every year and is the only hospital ratings program exclusively centered on hospital prevention of medical errors, infections, and injuries that kill more than 500 patients a day nationally.
“Administering high-quality coordinated care while ensuring patient safety is a top priority at all Kaiser Permanente facilities,” said Sam Balukoff, vice president and hospital administrator for Kaiser Permanente in Hawaii. “We’re proud to have such a dedicated team of physicians, providers, and staff that consistently goes to great lengths on a daily basis to create a safe environment for our patients and their families as they recover. We thank our team members for their compassion and hard work because they are the pivotal reasons for receiving achievements like this.”
Ratings are based on hospital performance data collected by national health care organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Scores are calculated by using more than 30 national safety performance measures that reflect errors, accidents, injuries, and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm. Fewer than 3 out of every 10 hospitals in the U.S. have received an A grade in the fall 2023 report.
