Eight Mayo Clinic hospitals have maintained straight A grades from the Leapfrog Group since spring 2022, reflecting staff's consistent high performance across national quality measures.
Eight eligible Mayo Clinic hospitals earned A grades from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit organization that provides safety ratings. All eight hospitals have maintained straight A's since spring 2022, and Mayo Clinic in Arizona is one of only 11 hospitals nationally that has earned an A in every grading cycle since 2012. The ratings are intended to help patients choose their preferred healthcare destinations.
"We are always striving to improve and grateful that all of our hospitals continue to perform strongly in patient safety, with the majority earning A grades from the Leapfrog Group," says Dr. Sean Dowdy, Mayo Clinic's chief value officer. "This recognition reflects the dedication, teamwork and tireless efforts of our staff, who remain focused each day on delivering safe, high-quality care to our patients. We're proud of this achievement and thankful for the commitment of our teams across the organization."
Hospitals that received an A grade are:
- Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
- Mayo Clinic in Florida.
- Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
- Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea and Austin, Minnesota.
- Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
- Mayo Clinic Health System in Fairmont, Minnesota.
- Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
- Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato, Minnesota.
Mayo Clinic Health System in Red Wing, Minnesota, received a B grade.
The Leapfrog Group's Hospital Safety Grades are updated and published twice each year. The grade is based on 22 measures of both publicly available hospital safety data and self-reported survey answers, which are combined to produce a single safety grade. A panel of patient safety experts developed the measures for the grade. Many agencies rate quality in healthcare. Mayo Clinic is the only healthcare organization that consistently ranks among the top providers nationwide, regardless of the quality measure used.
