Consumer Reports magazine has issued hospital safety ratings for 1,159 hospitals in 44 states, using several different measures than the Leapfrog Group’s recent and controversial hospital letter grades, and reaches opposite conclusions about many facilities.

The Consumer Reports’ system rates hospitals in six categories: infections, 30-day readmissions, overuse of scanning, communication about new medication and discharge process (as measured by HCAHPS), patient complications, and 30-day post-discharge mortality.
