Clinical safety: "The Leapfrog Group" and other benchmarkings








The Hospital Safety Score is a scaled assessment (A / B / C / D / E / F) of American hospitals that aims to provide that insurers and citizens have access to proven clinical safety information offered by each hospital in the system.
