Hospital Safety Score

The Hospital Safety Score is a rating system that evaluates hospitals based on their ability to provide a safe environment for patients. It considers factors like infection rates, readmission rates, patient safety practices, and the quality of care. A higher score indicates a safer hospital with better patient outcomes, while a lower score points to areas needing improvement. This rating helps patients and families make informed decisions about where to receive care, encouraging hospitals to continually prioritize safety and quality. It aims to promote transparency and accountability across healthcare facilities.
