CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier has again earned the top rating for health care safety from the Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization that assigns grades to U.S. hospitals based on their ability to prevent medical errors and harm to patients.
CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier received an A grade in Leapfrog’s most recent national hospital safety survey released today. The hospital also achieved an A grade in the fall survey.
“The consistency we have sustained has been the key to our success,” said Casey Robertson, president and CEO of CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System. “Every day, we strive to fulfill our mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, and this recognition confirms that we are on the right path.”
“We have assembled an exceptional leadership team that prioritizes patient safety every day,” said Chris Glenney, senior vice president of group operations for CHRISTUS Northeast Texas and North Louisiana. “Our team and hospital are outstanding, and this grade reflects CHRISTUS’s commitment to providing quality care in the Shreveport-Bossier area.”
The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade surveys and grades nearly 3,000 participating U.S. hospitals. Results are updated each fall and spring and are based on more than 30 national performance measures, including maternity care, critical care, elective outpatient surgery for adults and children, medication safety and complex adult and pediatric surgery.
