Loma Linda University Medical Center and East Campus hospitals received their 12th and 13th consecutive “A” safety ratings, respectively, and Murrieta received its second A from the Leapfrog Group for Fall 2024.
These nation-wide recognitions, published each spring and fall, recognize Loma Linda University Health’s performance in protecting patients from preventable harm and error while in the hospital.
“These grades demonstrate our accomplishment of protecting our patients as we deliver quality care at the highest level,” said Anthony Hilliard, MD, FACC, CEO of Loma Linda University Health Hospitals. “Our longstanding consistency at this level shows how seriously we prioritize our patients’ safety.”
The Leapfrog Group is an independent national watchdog organization that assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on more than 30 national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries, and infections, as well as systems that hospitals have in place to prevent harm.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and patient harm. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent, and accessible to the public.
