Patient safety efforts earned both Backus and Windham solid grades from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit healthcare ratings organization.
Backus was among the 832 in the United States to earn an “A” grade while Windham, which had been handed an “F” just a few years ago from Leapfrog, earned a “B.”
The grades are based on hospital performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms.
