Patient Safety Your Safety Is Our Top Priority When you or a family member is a patient at Lakewood Health System, you want to be sure you receive the best and safest care possible. Our hospital and health care professionals are committed to providing the best care for you and your family. We ask you and your families to join us to make sure that our care meets your needs and encourage you to let us know when it does not. We are dedicated to sharing information on quality and safety with you and your family through efforts such as voluntarily participating in the Leapfrog Group Survey www.leapfroggroup.org. Leapfrog is a coalition of more than 100 public and private organizations that share our commitment to provide the safest healthcare possible. We commend the Leapfrog Group for recognizing quality of care is not just based on cost. However, we realize their standards are not applicable to all hospitals. To make your health care visit safe, we have many steps in place that go beyond Leapfrog's three standards. The following are a few of the countless steps our hospital is taking to assure you receive reliable care: The Minnesota Alliance for Patient Safety 20 Tips to Help Prevent Medical Errors (Adults) 20 Tips to Help Prevent Medical Errors in Children Ways You Can Help Your Family Prevent Medical Errors!
