Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe Earns ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade

The Leapfrog Group awards the national honor for fall 2023

GROSSE POINTE, Mich., Nov. 6, 2023 – Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe, part of Corewell Health^TM, earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade for fall 2023 from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog that sets standards for excellence in patient care.

This national distinction recognizes the achievements of the hospital in protecting patients from preventable harm and error.

“We are very proud of Grosse Pointe achieving a Leapfrog “A,” said Jeffrey Ditkoff, M.D., senior vice president, chief of quality, safety and experience for Corewell Health East. “This is reflective of a tradition of delivering extremely high-quality and exceptional care, and a dedication to keeping patients safe.”

Corewell Health Lakeland Hospitals – Niles Hospital, Corewell Health Lakeland Hospitals – St. Joseph Hospital, Corewell Health Big Rapids Hospital, Corewell Health Greenville Hospital, Corewell Health Ludington Hospital and Corewell Health Zeeland Hospital also earned an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for fall 2023.

“We are very proud to have seven Corewell Health hospitals receiving an ‘A’ Safety Grade and continue to look to Leapfrog to help us on our safety journey,” said James Moses, M.D., chief of quality, safety and patient experience for Corewell Health. “That said, we continue to have more opportunity to ensure we get all our hospitals to ‘A’ when it comes to safety. We are looking forward to the work ahead that will get us there.”

The Leapfrog Group assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country twice annually. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 30 national performance measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Leapfrog Hospital Survey and information from other supplemental data sources. Taken together, those performance measures produce a single letter grade representing a hospital’s overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
