Jupiter, Fla. (May 13, 2020) – Jupiter Medical Center, the number one ranked hospital for safety,
quality and patient satisfaction in Palm Beach County and the Treasure
Coast region, today announced it has been awarded an ‘A’ safety
grade rating and is the only hospital in Palm Beach County to earn the
top rating for Spring of 2020. The ‘A’ safety rating awarded
by The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit focused on rating and measuring
hospital safety, quality and affordability, is considered ‘the gold
standard measure of patient safety.’ Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades
are assigned to over 2,600 general acute-care hospitals across the nation
twice annually.
“As healthcare consumers are considering or choosing to undergo medical
treatment, we know that one of the most significant deciding factors is
safety and quality. With this national designation, patients can have
complete confidence that the care they receive from Jupiter Medical Center
is the ‘safest’ available in Palm Beach County and the Treasure
Coast region,” said Dr. Amit Rastogi, president and CEO of Jupiter
Medical Center. “Our ‘A’ grade rating by The Leapfrog
Group for the Spring of 2020 is a direct result of our organization’s
unwavering commitment to providing the highest level of care to our patients
with safety and quality at the forefront of everything we do.”
According to The Leapfrog Group, its hospital safety grade is rated using
up to 28 national performance measures that are combined to produce a
single letter grade representing a hospital’s overall performance
in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
The Leapfrog Group also recognized Jupiter Medical Center as a “Top
Hospital,” an annual distinction earned by only six percent of hospitals
nationwide. Additionally, Jupiter Medical Center remains the only hospital
in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties to receive
a 4-star safety and quality rating from the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS).
These national and regional accreditations place Jupiter Medical Center
as the undisputed leader in the measures that matter the most to patients
– receiving the highest quality of care in a safe environment.
“From the moment of arrival at Jupiter Medical Center to post-procedure
checkups and at every stage along the way, we remain focused on the safety
of each patient, as well as the safety of our medical staff and team members,”
Dr. Rastogi said.
