The Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital was given an “A” grade in the latest LeapFrog Hospital Safety Grade survey.

LeapFrog Group, a nationally recognized nonprofit, reviews hospitals across the country and grades them based on over thirty national performance safety measures such as the number of medical errors and systems in place to prevent harm.

Logan Regional Hospital got top marks in practices to prevent errors, as well as doctors, nurses and staff, which measures things like communication between staff and leadership. It fell further behind in the infections category.

Intermountain caregivers all receive Zero Harm training, including policies to encourage caregivers to always double-check for patient care and speak up about safety concerns.

The full grading for the Logan hospital can be found here, and more information about the survey can be found here.

All my life, I have loved writing and sharing stories. Since I joined UPR in 2022, those stories have had a lot more fact-checking and a lot fewer magical animals, but they've brought me just as much joy. I've also found a secret love for announcing on-air, which my family would probably tell you is no surprise considering how many hours they've listened to me ramble.
