Broward Health Coral Springs earns an “A” grade from national nonprofit group for outstanding commitment to hospital safety
Coral Springs, Florida – Broward Health Coral Springs has secured the highest possible grade for hospital safety, according to a recent announcement from the facility. The hospital received an “A” from The Leapfrog Group, a respected national nonprofit that assesses safety standards in hospitals across the United States.
This top rating isn’t handed out lightly. The Leapfrog Group evaluates hospitals based on more than 30 safety measures. These measures include how well a hospital prevents medical mistakes, patient injuries, and infections. Grades range from “A” to “F” and are updated twice a year. An “A” means a hospital is doing an excellent job protecting patients from harm.
Kristen Bowman, CEO of Broward Health Coral Springs, credited the staff for the hospital’s outstanding performance. “This recognition is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our physicians, nurses, and team members to deliver the safest care to our patients,” she said. “It reflects our culture of safety and continuous quality improvement.”
The Leapfrog Group’s grading system is designed to help patients make informed decisions about where to receive care. It also encourages hospitals to maintain high safety standards. Patients and families can check the grades of hospitals across the country by visiting HospitalSafetyGrade.org, where they’ll also find helpful safety tips for hospital stays.
The “A” grade sets Broward Health Coral Springs apart as a facility that prioritizes patient well-being. Hospital officials noted that maintaining such a grade takes effort from every part of the team — from nurses on the front lines to support staff behind the scenes.
While safety scores are just one factor to consider when choosing a hospital, experts say they can offer important insights into how well a facility manages risk. For Broward Health Coral Springs, the score shows that safety is more than a policy — it’s a daily practice.
Residents in Coral Springs now have even more reason to feel confident in their local hospital. With national recognition to back it up, Broward Health Coral Springs is proving that putting patient safety first truly makes a difference.
