    St. John’s Regional Medical Center and St. John’s Hospital Camarillo Recognized with an “A” Safety Rating from the Leapfrog Group

    News Release

    OXNARD, Calif. – November 16, 2022 – Dignity Health – St. John’s Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) and St. John’s Hospital Camarillo (SJHC) have been nationally recognized with an “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for Fall 2022.

     

    This national distinction recognizes SJRMC and SJHC among the top in the nation in protecting patients from preventable harm and errors in the hospital.

     

    “Achieving an ‘A’ Grade is a direct result of the hard work, dedication and passion for excellence that the St. John’s team demonstrates every day,” said Barry Wolfman, president and CEO of St. John’s Regional Medical Center and St. John’s Hospital Camarillo. “It is an honor to work with a team who places so much importance on quality and safety.”

     

    The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over thirty national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.

    The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital rating program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harm to patients. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.
