CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – San Marcos has earned the top rating for health care safety from the Leapfrog Group. This national watchdog organization assigns grades to U.S. hospitals based on their ability to prevent medical errors and patient harm.
CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – San Marcos received an A in Leapfrog’s most recent national hospital safety survey. This is the fifth A the hospital has earned in a row.
“We have an amazing team, and this A is indicative of the care we are committed to providing to our patients and this community,” said Bob Honeycutt, president of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – San Marcos. “Patient safety is one of our top priorities.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade surveys and grades nearly 3,000 participating U.S. hospitals. Results are updated each fall and spring and are based on more than 30 national performance measures, including maternity care, critical care, elective outpatient surgery for adults and children, medication safety and complex adult and pediatric surgery.
According to Leapfrog, less than one-third of the nearly 3,000 hospitals graded received an A rating. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – San Marcos is the only hospital in town to receive an A rating from Leapfrog.
“I’m proud of the team for achieving this recognition,” Honeycutt said. “We strive to fulfill our mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ each day, and this truly validates the compassionate and dignified care we’re providing to the San Marcos community.”
