TERRE HAUTE, Ind., EFFINGHAM, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) – Terre Haute Regional Hospital and HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital reported Friday that they have been awarded an ‘A’ from The Leapfrog Group’s spring 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, the only area hospitals to receive the watchdog organization’s highest grade.
Leapfrog assigns an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ or ‘F’ grade to general hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections, and other harm to patients in their care. Of the more than 2,600 hospitals graded nationwide, only 33% earned an “A” grade for meeting some of the industry’s highest standards.
