Tulsa Spine & Specialty Hospital was named one of Leapfrog’s Top Hospitals for 2022 at the Leapfrog annual meeting and awards dinner in Washington, D.C. Tulsa Spine & Specialty Hospital took home the award for Top General Hospital and is the only Oklahoma hospital to receive this recognition.
The Leapfrog Top Hospital awards are widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards American hospitals can receive. The Top Hospital designation is bestowed by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization of employers and other purchasers widely acknowledged as the toughest standard-setters for health care safety and quality.
More than 2,200 hospitals were considered for the award with just 115 hospitals gaining Top Hospital recognition. The quality of patient care across many areas of hospital performance is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, practices for safer surgery, maternity care and the hospital’s capacity to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year’s Top Hospital Methodology.
To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest standards for quality and patient safety and achieve top performance in its category.
