Why did your organization decide to apply to become a Leapfrog Regional Roll-Out leader? To promote Maine hospitals completing Leapfrog Survey and support my employer members who are Leapfrog members
 
In your view, what kind of impact Leapfrog has had on your market thus far? 
It is hard to differentiate Leapfrog’s impact from the impact MHMC and various other quality measurement initiatives have had – BUT there is no question that collectively the focus on safety has provoked a massive investment in better medication and other systems in our hospitals.
