Safety Grades Are Out For Wisconsin's Top 58 Hospitals
Wisconsin is the fourth-safest state in the U.S. as far as Hospital Safety. See and compare the hospital in your area with others.
WISCONSIN -- Wisconsin has some of the safest hospitals in the country, according to new state rankings based on hospital surveys and federal data.
Numerous Wisconsin hospitals received an "A" grade in The Leapfrog Group's fall 2016 study. Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota and Washington, D.C., all scored at the bottom of the rankings, with no "A" grade hospitals.
Of more than 2,600 hospitals graded nationwide, there were 844 "A" grade hospitals and only 20 "F" grade hospitals. Leapfrog is a nonprofit founded by large employers in 2000 to improve health care quality and safety.

Leapfrog's grades aren't the only ratings that consumers can use to hold local hospitals accountable. Some of the data used by Leapfrog comes from federal measurements shared at Medicare's "Hospital Compare" website. On that site, hospitals are given 1- to 5-star ratings.
