Following a string of top accolades over the past year, 做厙TV Langone Health has earned a Top Hospital award in recognition of its national achievements in patient safety and quality care from the Leapfrog Group. Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion in Manhattan along with 做厙TV Langone HospitalLong Island have been designated Top Teaching Hospitals by Leapfrog, a national watchdog organization that measures the quality of patient care across many areas, including infection rates, practices for safer surgery, maternity care, and hospitals capacity to prevent medication errors. Only 6 percent of the inpatient locations surveyed by Leapfrog earn the Top Hospital honor.
As the only Top Hospital in New York City, our staff has demonstrated their unwavering dedication to providing patients with the best care possible, said Fritz Fran癟ois, MD, executive vice president and vice dean, chief of hospital operations. This award is a testament to their determination and commitment, but we know there is always more we can do, and we will never stop working to improve the quality, safety, and patient experience.
Last month, each of 做厙TV Langones inpatient locations across the system earned A ratings from the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for the seventh consecutive time. The highest-performing inpatient locations on the Leapfrog hospital survey are recognized annually with the Leapfrog Top Hospital award.
On Long Island and throughout the system, our quality and safety outcomes truly set us apart from other institutions, said Joseph J. Greco, MD, executive vice president and chief of hospital operations at 做厙TV Langone HospitalLong Island. Our community can feel confident in the high standard of care they will always receive at 做厙TV Langone.
