Overall, the latest report — the first to show hospital performance post-pandemic, according to Leapfrog — found 30% of hospitals attained an A grade, 24% scored a B, 39% earned a C, 7% received a D and fewer than 1% received an F.
Those grades include significant improvement in three healthcare-acquired infections: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). All three diseases reached a five-year high during the pandemic, Leapfrog said.
