LHRP Scoring

The measures from the Leapfrog Hospital Survey are scored in two categories: quality and resource use. Using a scoring methodology closely aligned with CMS’ value-based purchasing program, LHRP calculates a relative numerical score from 0 (lowest score) to 100 (highest score) for each measure that applies to a hospital. Scores are first combined into an overall quality score and an overall resource use score, then further combined to result in an overall value score.

  • Quality scores represent the extent to which hospital care conforms to evidence-based guidelines and achieves desired outcomes.
  • Resource use scores reflect average length of stay (adjusted for risk and readmissions) for selected conditions and procedures, and rates of healthcare-acquired conditions like infections and falls. 
  • A hospital's value score is calculated by combining a hospital’s quality score and resource use score. The quality score represents 65% and the resource use score represents 35% of the value score. The value score used is used to determine whether or not a hospital qualifies for recognition.
