In This Issue:
BWH and MGH were both included on a list of 50 exceptional hospitals as part of a “Vital Signs: Putting Hospitals to the Test” article in the March/April issue of Consumers Digest. The list is based on data collected by the Leapfrog Group-an initiative driven by more than 170 member companies and organizations aiming to improve health care quality, patient safety and customer value.
The list is intended to educate the general public about making informed health care decisions by highlighting hospitals across the country that have done particularly well on the Leapfrog Hospital Quality and Safety Survey.
In the latest version of the Leapfrog Survey in 2004, BWH scored an almost perfect score on 27 dimensions put forth by the National Quality Forum as safety and quality “best practices.”
