Star ratings of Leapfrog's 25 straight-'A' and 'F' hospitals

Star ratings of Leapfrog's 25 straight-'A' and 'F' hospitals 
Becker's Hospital Review; by Mackenzie Bean; updated 5/3/24 
A comparison of data from CMS and The Leapfrog Group suggests that a hospital's strong performance in one national quality rating system does not necessarily mean it will be a top performer in another. Leapfrog updated its spring safety grades May 1, recognizing 15 hospitals that have received an "A" grade in every consecutive update since 2012. Of these hospitals, only eight received a five-star rating from CMS. Similar discrepancies are seen across Leapfrog's "F" hospitals. While two did receive one star — the lowest possible rating — another five received two stars, and one hospital earned four stars. [Click on the title's link for the list.]
