Ten Hospitals Utilizing Surfacide UVC Technology Are Included in Leapfrog Group’s Prestigious ‘Top Hospitals’ List for 2024

The Leapfrog Group, a non-profit watchdog organization dedicated to fostering positive change in US healthcare, recently announced their coveted annual Top Hospitals list. Surfacide® is proud that ten hospitals recognized on this important list currently deploy our Helios® UV-C disinfection technology in their facilities, demonstrating their commitment to patient safety.

The highest-performing hospitals on the Leapfrog Hospital Survey are recognized annually with the prestigious Leapfrog Top Hospital award. Top Hospitals have better systems in place to prevent medication errors, higher quality maternity care and lower infection rates, among other laudable qualities. Hospitals that are eligible to receive a Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade must have received an “A” in the most recent round of scoring to be eligible. 

The award is not given to a set number of hospitals but rather to all teaching, general, rural and children’s hospitals that meet the high standards defined in each year’s Top Hospital Methodology. Collectively, 126 hospitals around the country earned the award in various categories as top hospitals for 2024.

“We commend these outstanding hospitals and their leadership for their steadfast commitment to enhancing patient safety and quality,” said Gunner Lyslo, Founder and CEO of Surfacide. “The Leapfrog Top Hospitals List emphasizes the crucial role that environmental services teams play in this process, and we are honored that ten hospitals on this list are using Surfacide UVC technology as a strategy in their patient safety protocols.”  

According to Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, “It is truly a joy to recognize the hospitals and ASCs across the nation that have gone above and beyond in their pursuit of excellence. Our Top Hospital and Top ASC Awards are among the most prestigious in the U.S. and deserve credit for role model performance.”
