Just after achieving its seventh consecutive “A” Hospital Safety
Grade, Jupiter Medical Center is the only hospital in South Florida recognized
with a “Top Hospital” award by nationally respected patient
safety organization, the Leapfrog Group—a distinction reserved for
only the “best of the best” hospitals across the country committed
to the highest standards of patient safety.
JUPITER, Fla. (December 7, 2021) – Jupiter Medical Center’s commitment
to patient safety has again been recognized by the watchdog organization
widely acknowledged as defining the toughest standards in hospital safety
and quality.
National nonprofit, the Leapfrog Group, has recognized Jupiter Medical
Center with its Top Hospital Award, one of the most competitive distinctions
that hospitals can receive. Only 46 hospitals in the nation have been
designated as Top Hospitals. This award comes just three weeks after Jupiter
Medical Center earned its seventh consecutive Leapfrog “A”
Hospital Safety Grade for achieving the highest standards in safety. Jupiter
Medical Center was the only hospital in the region awarded with seven
consecutive “A” grades.
“The Hippocratic principle of ‘First, do no harm,’ is
a critical component of our hospital’s commitment to the highest
standards of patient safety,” says Dr. Amit Rastogi, President and
CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “We are not only honored by the recognition
of this achievement, but the award assures those in our community who
are deciding where to seek medical care that their safety is a top priority
of all our physicians, nurses and support teams.”
More than 2,200 hospitals throughout the U.S. were considered for the award
in the categories of Top Children’s Hospital, General, Rural or
Teaching. Jupiter Medical Center was one of just 46 hospitals in the nation
named a Top Hospital in the General category. The quality of patient care
across many measures of hospital performance is considered in establishing
the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, surgery,
maternity care, and the hospital’s ability to prevent errors in
medication and other areas.
