St. Luke's Hospital Nationally Recognized for Outstanding Patient Experience

Chesterfield, Mo. , May 25, 2021

St. Luke’s Hospital in Chesterfield has achieved the Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ by Healthgrades® for the 11th year in a row. The 2021 designation places St. Luke’s among the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide based on an analysis of patient experience data.

“Providing high quality, safe and compassionate patient care is at the heart of our mission, and it begins with treating each person like a family member,” said Diane Ray, RN, FACHE, St. Luke’s senior vice president and network chief nursing officer and St. Luke’s Hospital chief operating officer. “This honor is the result of the exceptional experience our healthcare team creates for our patients and their families every day.”

Healthgrades evaluated the patient experience performance of nearly 3,300 hospitals using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAPHS) patient survey data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), covering admissions from January 2019 through December 2019.

The survey questions focus on patients’ perspectives of their care in the hospital. The topics of the questions range from cleanliness and quietness in patient rooms to communication with physicians and nurses.

“The recipients of the Healthgrades 2021 Outstanding Patient Experience Award have consistently put patient experience front and center and have made it a priority within their organization,” said Brad Bowman, MD, Healthgrades chief medical officer. “We commend these hospitals for their long-standing commitment to providing an exceptional patient experience, while ensuring the health and safety of their patients.”
