The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit organization focused on health care quality and safety, gives out grades to hospitals twice a year for how well they prevent errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
Wisconsin slipped from 10th place in Leapfrog’s spring 2018 rankings, when 42 percent of hospitals received “A” grades.
