    ICU Physician Staffing: This criterion refers to the presence of ICU intensivists during daytime hours or via telemedicine 24/7.

    Safe Medication Administration: This measures a hospital’s use of an electronic scanning system that helps ensure the right patient gets the right medication at the right time.

    Patient Experience: The CAHPS Child Hospital Survey measures communication with parents about medicines, care and communication with a child.

    Never Events: A never event is an occurrence in the medical field that should “never happen.” This measure indicates the hospital fully complies with the elements of Leapfrog's Never Events policy.

    The Leapfrog Group is a nonprofit organization that aims to help consumers make informed decisions about their health and access safe, high-value care. For over two decades, it has collected and published data on patient safety and quality of care from voluntary surveys and other sources. More than 2,200 hospitals completed its flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey in 2022.

    To compile its new list of the top hospitals in the country for pediatrics, in partnership with Money, The Leapfrog Group used data submitted via the 2022 Leapfrog Hospital Survey.

    To qualify for the list, eligible hospitals were required to carry an A or B letter grade on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for fall 2022.
