Safety survey: Only 1 Brooklyn hospital received an ‘A’ grade
1 'B' and all the rest are ‘Cs’ and ‘Ds’
NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, in Sunset Park, was the only hospital in Brooklyn to receive an “A” grade in the respected Leapfrog Group’s 2023 survey of hospital safety and quality. And just one hospital in the borough received a “B” — New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in Park Slope.
The remainder of hospitals in Brooklyn received “Cs” (eight hospitals) and “Ds” (three hospitals.)
The Leapfrog Group, which has been collecting and analyzing hospital data for 20 years, released its 2023 hospital grades on Wednesday. The rankings reflect a hospital’s overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
“As the only A-rated hospital in Brooklyn, our patients can feel confident they are receiving the highest quality of care. Maintaining the exceptionalism that has come to define our institution requires the collective energy, innovation, and diligence from our staff,” Bret J. Rudy, MD, executive vice president and chief of hospital operations at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn told the Brooklyn Eagle.
