PUTNAM — For the third consecutive time, Day Kimball Hospital has received an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for achieving the highest national standards in patient safety. This national distinction recognizes Day Kimball Hospital’s achievements in protecting patients from preventable harm and error in the hospital. Day Kimball Hospital was also honored with an “A” grade in both the spring and fall 2021 releases.
“Day Kimball Hospital is profoundly honored to have been awarded with a third “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group,” said Kyle Kramer, CEO, Day Kimball Healthcare. “Achieving this distinction while simultaneously facing the ongoing challenges of a global pandemic is a clear indication of our commitment to maintaining patient safety, and underscores the high-quality, compassionate care we have provided to our community throughout our 127-year history. We understand and respect the responsibility we have in serving our community, and each day we rededicate ourselves to making a difference for those we are privileged to serve. This recognition is affirmation that we are on the right path.”
The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over thirty national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.
