KYLE — Ascension Seton Hays Hospital has been awarded an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for Spring 2024.

The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit organization, evaluates hospitals across the United States on more than 30 performance metrics related to medical errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the efficacy of their preventive measures. This prestigious grade highlights Ascension Seton Hays’ commitment to patient safety, according to the hospital.

"Ascension Seton Hays is dedicated to upholding the strictest safety protocols to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patient,” said Joan Ross, president of Ascension Seton Hays. “Receiving an 'A' grade from The Leapfrog Group validates the hard work and dedication of our entire team. It reinforces our ongoing commitment to delivering safe, quality healthcare to all.”

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program that focuses exclusively on hospital safety. It specifically targets preventable medical errors, infections and injuries that contribute to more than 500 patient deaths each day nationwide. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and freely available to the public. Grades are updated biannually, reflecting the continuous efforts of healthcare facilities to improve patient safety.
