(December 21, 2022) Tampa, FL– AdventHealth Tampa has received an “A” in patient safety for the 9th consecutive time from the prestigious Leapfrog Group, a national patient safety watchdog group that delivers grades based on quality metrics such as a hospital’s performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.
Out of 3,000 hospitals evaluated nationwide, only 30% received this top grade.
“AdventHealth Tampa’s commitment to achieving an ‘A’ rating for the ninth consecutive time is proof that our organization values and emphasizes the safety of our patients in protecting them from preventable medical errors, injuries, and infections. I’m very proud of our team for their hard work in achieving this honor,” said AdventHealth Tampa’s CEO, Bruce Bergherm.
AdventHealth hospitals in the West Florida Division that received an “A” in patient safety from the Leapfrog Group, include:
- AdventHealth Carrollwood
- AdventHealth Dade City
- AdventHealth Lake Placid
- AdventHealth Lake Wales
- AdventHealth North Pinellas
- AdventHealth Sebring
- AdventHealth Tampa
- AdventHealth Wesley Chapel
- AdventHealth Zephyrhills
“AdventHealth is committed to continually evaluating and implementing systems that enhance clinical excellence and keep patients safe,” said Dr. Robin McGuinness, senior executive officer, and chief nurse executive for AdventHealth West Florida Division. “The consecutive “A” grades are a testament to our teams who carry out the protocols and procedures that ensure our communities have the highest quality care possible and trust they’re safe in our care.”
The Leapfrog Group previously awarded AdventHealth the Emerald Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Health Care System, a first for any health system. The achievement honors AdventHealth’s performance across Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grades and Top Hospital award, which is one of the most competitive quality awards a hospital and its team members can receive.
