Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City honored with “A” grade for patient safety

OKLAHOMA CITY – For the ninth consecutive time, Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City has received an “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for achievements in protecting patients from harm and errors in the hospital. 

The Leapfrog Group, an independent, national watchdog organization, assigns letter grades to hospitals across the country based on more than 30 performance measures reflecting errors, injuries, accidents and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm to their patients.

In Oklahoma, Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City was one of only 11 hospitals throughout the state to earn an “A” grade from Leapfrog in the Fall 2021 grades. 

The “A” grade from The Leapfrog Group is in addition to other recent recognitions of safety and quality at Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, including a sixth 2021 IBM Watson Health 100 Top Hospital award and a 2021 Best Maternity Hospital by Newsweek and The Leapfrog Group.
