St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital Earns an 'A' in Patient Safety from Leapfrog

Chesterfield, Mo. , May 15, 2019
St. Luke’s Des Peres Hospital achieved an ‘A’ in The Leapfrog Group’s spring 2019 Hospital Safety Grade. The designation recognizes the hospital’s efforts in protecting patients from harm and providing safer healthcare.

The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization that works to improve healthcare quality and safety for consumers and purchasers. The Safety Grade assigns an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ or ‘F’ grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harm to patients in their care. 

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public.
