Blanchard Valley Hospital was recently honored with an “A” grade in the Fall 2017 Hospital Safety Score, which rates how well hospitals protect patients from errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
The Hospital Safety Score uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” score representing a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from preventable harm. More than 2,600 U.S. hospitals were assigned scores in Fall 2017.
