We don’t make it a habit to visit the hospital unless we absolutely have to. The best possible reason to be in a hospital is to see a doctor or pay a visit to a loved one. In the worst-case scenario, you get critical injuries and require immediate medical care.
Thank goodness my sole hospital visit was over twenty years ago when I injured my wrist rollerskating, and that was a pleasant experience overall. On the off chance that you do end yourself in need of medical assistance, you can take solace in the fact that New Jersey is home to some of the finest medical facilities in the country.
I’m not just bragging about my home state of New Jersey; there is data to back up my assertion! It was recently reported on Patch that 33 New Jersey hospitals had achieved an “A” in patient safety as it related to the prevention of avoidable medical mistakes.
The Leapfrog Group is a non-profit organization that conducts audits of hospitals around the US. By the way, this is a huge thing for A-grade medical facilities. The Leapfrog Group’s website claims that major media outlets including MSNBC, AARP, and The New York Times all use its rating system as their benchmark for patient safety.
How Are Hospitals Graded, and What Factors Are Considered?
The Leapfrog Group examines a ton of information before handing out their letter grades every other year. They consider the availability of medical professionals, the rate at which patients receive prescribed care, and the results of any given treatment.
The grading method is extremely rigorous, and these are only a few examples of the many factors considered. You can trust that if you go to one of these New Jersey hospitals with an ‘A’ rating, you will receive excellent care.
