A recent hospital safety report from the nonprofit watchdog organization Leapfrog Group analyzed nearly 3,000 general hospitals across the country, including 113 in Illinois, based on protection from medical errors, accidents, infections and injuries.
That includes Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City, Javon Bae Hospital in Rockford, Roseland Community Hospital in Chicago, Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon, Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan and Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Vista Health System said it"improved during this rating period and continuously focuses on safety, quality, and our patients’ experience" but noted that data used in its grade"is more than three years old in some cases and does not reflect the dedication and clinical performance of Vista’s physicians, nurses, and staff."
"We firmly believe that meaningful quality and safety data should be transparent to the public. However, accurately measuring this data can be challenging, and some organizations use limited methodologies that don’t always reflect the quality of care or the varied factors that contribute to patient outcomes," the hospital system said in a statement.
Northwestern Medicine said its Lake Forest Hospital"is committed to providing high quality, safe, patient-centered care."
