Highlighting its nationally recognized achievements in patient safety and quality, Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital (RCH) was named one of only 32 “Top General Hospitals” nationally by The Leapfrog Group. Announced today, the Leapfrog Top Hospital award is acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards American hospitals can receive.
The Top Hospital designation is bestowed by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization of employers and other purchasers widely acknowledged as the toughest standard-setters for health care safety and quality. Top Hospitals will be honored tonight at the 2022 Leapfrog Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C.
“We are proud to receive this distinct Top General Hospital honor from The Leapfrog Group recognizing the hard work and focus on patient safety that our physicians, medical staff and associates are providing at Richmond Community Hospital each and every day,” said Bryan Lee, president of Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital. “Our dedicated team is committed to treating every patient who comes through our doors with dignity and respect, and continues to provide quality, compassionate care to our patients and our community, in fulfillment of our Mission.”
Richmond Community Hospital is an urban hospital with 104 beds including an emergency department, a behavioral health unit, a medical surgical unit, and a progressive care unit located in Richmond’s East End. Recent improvements totaling $9.8 million on the RCH Campus include a new Good Health Pharmacy, increased access to care, and lab expansions, each of which help to foster better service to our patients. In addition, work is near complete on a $16.5 million medical office building on the hospitals’ campus, which will include the implementation of the new outpatient adult behavioral health program which compliments the existing in-patient services currently offered at RCH. Additional work is underway to upgrade mammography services and a build out a new MRI suite.
Richmond Community Hospital is one of only 32 hospitals across the United States that were selected as Top General Hospitals by the Leapfrog Group. More than 2,200 hospitals were considered for the award and a total of 115 hospitals were selected as Top Hospitals, which include children’s, general, rural, and teaching distinctions.
The quality of patient care across many areas of hospital performance is considered in establishing the qualifications for the award, including infection rates, practices for safer surgery, and the hospital’s capacity to prevent medication errors. The rigorous standards are defined in each year’s Top Hospital Methodology.
“We are honored to recognize Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital as a Top Hospital this year,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Richmond Community Hospital has demonstrated that they truly put patients first. We congratulate the board, staff and clinicians whose efforts made this honor possible.”
To qualify for the Top Hospitals distinction, hospitals must rank top among peers on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which assesses hospital performance on the highest standards for quality and patient safety and achieve top performance in its category.
