University Medical Center of Princeton has earned another A in patient safety from The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit working to improve the safety, quality and affordability of health care.

The grade was awarded as part of The Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Score, calculated twice yearly based on data related to preventable medical errors, accidents and infections.

UMCP has earned all A’s since the grades were first published in June 2012.

UCMP also earned The Joint Commission’s designation as Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for three years in a row and achieved Magnet status, which is the highest institutional recognition for nursing excellence.
