The Miriam is one of four in New England to win the top teaching hospital honor.
The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit aimed at driving quality, safety, and transparency in the U.S. health system, uses its Top General Hospital Methodology to assess hospital performance each year. Hospitals must apply for the assessment by submitting a Leapfrog Hospital Survey. The designation measures hospital performance, including infection rates, inpatient care management, and the hospital’s capacity to prevent medication errors.
“We are proud to recognize Saint Anne’s Hospital as a 2017 Leapfrog Top Hospital. This demonstrates extraordinary dedication to patients and the local community. The entire staff and board deserve praise for putting quality first and achieving results,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of Leapfrog.
St. Anne’s was also named a Top Hospital in 2013.
“We are especially grateful to our employees and medical staff for the care provided to our patients and families and the work our employees have done to support this care,” said Michael Bushell, president of Saint Anne’s Hospital.
“Our team’s collective expertise, compassion and ‘can do’ attitude have not only helped us to achieve this distinction, but especially, helped us to continue to make a difference in the lives of our patients and families,” Bushell said.
