Southwest Healthcare Inland Valley Hospital Earns An "A" Hospital Safety Grade From The Leapfrog Group
Southwest Healthcare Inland Valley Hospital earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit watchdog. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
“This ‘A’ grade is a reflection on all the hard work and dedication in which our entire team has contributed to the highest quality of safety measures for our patients and their families,” stated Jared Giles, CEO of SWH Inland Valley Hospital and Rancho Springs Hospital.
