*Editor's note: Kingman Regional Medical Center has issued a statement saying data was incorrectly reported to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is one place Leapfrog gets its data. "We appealed to CMS to correct the data and were refused. With the help of the American Hospital Association, KRMC is currently appealing for a second time," the hospital said.
