These 38 Illinois Hospitals Are Some of the Safest in America: Report

Illinois is home to 38 of the safest hospitals in the nation, according to a new report from a national healthcare nonprofit.

The Leapfrog Group, founded in 2000, produces an annual report listing the safest hospitals in the country by soliciting data from hospitals across the United States.

"The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey collects and transparently reports hospital performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions," the nonprofit's website reads. "The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog’s other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections."
