COLUMBIA, Tenn. — Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC) earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade, the highest possible ranking, for the fall of 2024 from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit organization driving movement for leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care.
“This recognition reflects the commitment of our entire team to providing the highest level of care to our community. Maury Regional Medical Center has received an “A” grade for nearly every reporting period since 2012,” said CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “I’m proud of our staff’s dedication to patient safety, their attention to detail and the continuous improvements they’ve implemented.”
Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to hospitals across the country based on more than 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them. Leapfrog helps bring transparency to heath care to support informed health care decisions and promote high-value care.
“Achieving an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Grade is a significant accomplishment for Maury Regional Medical Center,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “It reflects enormous dedication to your patients and their families, and your whole community should be proud. I extend my congratulations to Maury Regional Medical Center, its leadership, clinicians, staff and volunteers for their tireless efforts to put patients first.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade stands as the only hospital ratings program focused solely on preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that take lives each day in the United States. This program is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
