da Vinci Robotic Surgery
The robotic surgery system offers many patients the most effective, least invasive treatment option. Our experienced team of surgeons perform procedures through tiny half-inch incisions, guiding the robot’s micro-instruments with their own hand movements. For you, this simply means a quicker return to daily activities after surgery. Mercy Hospital Fort Smith uses a four-arm surgical robot to assist in general surgery, gynecologic surgery and urologic surgery.
Fall 2020 Hospital Safety Grade
Mercy Hospital Fort Smith was recognized nationally and awarded an A from The Leapfrog Group’s Fall 2020 Hospital Safety Grade.
The designation recognizes Mercy’s efforts in protecting patients from harm and meeting the highest safety standards in the United States. The Safety Grade assigns A, B, C, D and F letter grades to hospitals nationwide based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harm among patients in their care. Those scores were announced today by The Leapfrog Group, a national nonprofit patient safety advocate.
"Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grades recognize hospitals like Mercy that focus on advancing patient safety. This ranking provides an important resource for patients, and a benchmark for hospitals, to determine how care at one hospital compares to others in a region,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.
“Hospitals that earn an A Hospital Safety Grade deserve to be recognized for their efforts in preventing medical harm and errors."
Developed under the guidance of a national expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.
