Northern Nevada Medical Center earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group. Leapfrog assigns a grade to hospitals across the country based on over 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, and the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assesses hospitals strictly on patient safety using 27 measures of patient safety data publicly reported related to patient safety, including infection prevention, the effectiveness of treatments, staffing, and the ability to reduce medical errors.
The program is peer-reviewed, transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
