An independent national nonprofit group call the Leapfrog Group recently announced it was awarding Oro Valley Hospital its highest score of an A for its safety record. This “Hospital Safety Score” ranges just like an academic report card from A – F and is built upon 26 measures of publicly available data regarding patient injuries, infections, and medical and medication errors. It’s a great achievement for the hospital and goes to show how thriving this community is to have drawn such a great staff of medical professionals to deliver this kind of upscale patient care. Oro Valley Hospital was the only Tucson region hospital to receive this highest grade. Only Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital even received a B, as University Medical Center, Tucson Medical Center, and Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital all received C’s. Congratulations to Oro Valley Hospital for achieving this noteworthy distinction.
