Over two dozen NYC-area hospitals earned strong patient safety grades in a new watchdog report card<\/a>, while a few failed to make the mark.<\/p>\n

Hospitals overseen by Catholic Health, Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, Northwell Health and NYU Langone Health garnered \u201cAs\u201d from the Leapfrog Group on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Over 2,300 US hospitals were rated \u201cA\u201d through \u201cF\u201d based on their protection of patients from preventable medical errors, accidents, injuries and healthcare-associated infections.<\/p>\n

Some 450 facilities<\/a> were not assigned a safety grade following a recent federal ruling<\/a> that Leapfrog\u2019s methodology is \u201cdeceptive and unfair.\u201d Leapfrog is appealing the decision.<\/p>\n

In a statement, NYU Langone Health noted that it\u2019s among just 1% of hospitals nationwide to earn 12 consecutive \u201cA\u201d grades from Leapfrog.<\/p>\n

Its \u201cA\u201d rating applies to Tisch Hospital and the Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion in Manhattan, NYU Langone Hospital \u2014 Brooklyn and NYU Langone Hospital \u2014 Long Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafe, high-quality care is the foundation of NYU Langone Health,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Alec C. Kimmelman<\/a>, dean and CEO of NYU Langone Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving an A grade from Leapfrog for the 12th consecutive time reflects the dedication of more than 54,000 people across our health system who put our patients first every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

For its part, Catholic Health lauded St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center on Long Island for earning its 17th consecutive and 27th overall \u201cA\u201d from Leapfrog, \u201cthe most of any hospital in New York State since the safety grading program launched in 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three other Catholic Health hospitals achieved top marks.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>, NewYork-Presbyterian highlighted its eight hospitals bestowed As, calling it \u201ca testament to NewYork-Presbyterian\u2019s commitment to providing the highest quality, compassionate care and the team\u2019s expertise, training and dedication to putting patients\u2019 safety first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Northwell Health has 15 A-rated hospitals in the Leapfrog report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s through the federal government\u2019s CMS Five-Star Quality ratings, US News and World Report\u2019s Best Hospitals list or a host of other national comparisons, the quality and life-saving care being provided at Northwell hospitals repeatedly shines through,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. John D\u2019Angelo, <\/a>Northwell\u2019s president and CEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Across New York, 40 hospitals got \u201cAs.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the flip side, Leapfrog hit Brookdale Hospital Medical Center and Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn, Nassau University Medical Center on Long Island and St. John\u2019s Episcopal Hospital in Queens with \u201cD\u201d grades. The Post reached out to reps for those facilities.<\/p>\n
