Monument Health Rapid City Hospital has again earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety, making it the only hospital in South Dakota to receive this distinction. Only about 30% of U.S. hospitals achieve a Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade of "A." Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 measures of errors, accidents, injuries and infections as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
