“The Leapfrog recognition and straight A’s are points of pride for the Elmhurst Hospital staff,” says Pamela Dunley, President & CEO, Elmhurst Hospital. “It means we’re truly living up to our philosophy of safe, seamless and personal care for our patients.”
The Safety Grade assigns letter grades of A, B, C, D and F to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms. Leapfrog uses up to 27 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute-care hospitals twice per year.
