One way to improve the situation is awareness. The Leapfrog group has established the "Hospital Safety Score" web site to check a hospital's safety "grade" based on publicly available information. Punch in your zip code and examine all the hospitals near you. The next time you or a loved one needs to go to a hospital, only choose among those that received an A. If enough people start doing this, the hospitals with lousy safety practices will start to get the message. http://www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/ http://www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/
