Largo Medical Center earns top marks from national watchdog organization
December 14, 2020 - Largo Medical Center was awarded an 'A' in the fall 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Safety grade, a national distinction recognizing the hospital's achievements in protecting patients from harm and providing safer care. The Leapfrog Group, an independent watchdog organization committed to health care quality, assigns letter grades to all general hospitals across the country and updates the grades every six months. Developed under the guidance of a national panel of experts, the organization uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals. The methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.
