Promoting high value health care by rewarding superior performance by health care providers and creating incentives for consumers to choose high quality providers is integral to Leapfrog’s mission. Here you will find a variety of tools and resources to help design and/or implement incentive and rewards programs for providers and consumers.

The tools and resources address many different aspects of successfully using incentives and rewards. For example, Leapfrog provides template language for health plan contracting, access to standard RFI questions for health plans, and an “Incentives & Rewards Toolkit” to help members frame incentive and reward programs.

In 2005, Leapfrog launched the Leapfrog Hospital Rewards Program™, an off-the-shelf incentive and reward program for hospitals that health plans and purchasers can license and implement in their own markets.

The ROI Estimator, an online, open source tool, is designed to help purchasers and payers estimate the costs and benefits—in terms of both clinical improvements and financial savings—of implementing the Leapfrog Hospital Rewards Program™.  Visit ROIEstimator.com to use this new tool and gauge the clinical and financial impact of implementing the Leapfrog Hospital Rewards Program™ in your market.
