A newly released list graded over 3,000 hospitals across the U.S., including 116 in Illinois, based on safety, with one northern medical center receiving an “F” and several Chicago hospitals listed as a “C.”
According to the group, 33% of hospitals nationwide received an"A" grade, while 24% got a"B," 36% got a"C," 7% received a"D" and less than 1% were listed as an"F."NBC 5 Chicago reached out to several area hospitals requesting for comment, but have not yet received a response from all health care centers.
"We embrace any opportunity to continue our journey toward excellence. Like all hospitals, various organizations evaluate patient care, quality, safety and satisfaction, and each rating system differs in its methodology. We do not participate in Leapfrog’s survey and instead focus our efforts on meeting federal public reporting requirements with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services," a spokesperson for Vista Health Systems said in a statement.
