The Leapfrog Group Invites Public Comment on the 2009 Leapfrog Hospital Survey
Each year, the Leapfrog Hospital Survey undergoes modifications to reflect new learning about quality and safety measures and the best way to structure the Survey instrument. The Leapfrog Group has designed the 2009 Survey to incorporate the latest research on measures that have the greatest impact on improving quality and saving costs.
Until the close of business on November 28, 2008, Leapfrog invites the public to comment on the 2009 iteration of the Leapfrog Hospital Survey. Highlights include:
- Using the scored results from the Leapfrog CPOE Evaluation Tool to assess if a hospital’s CPOE system is alerting physicians to at least 50% of common serious prescribing errors;
- Replacing the traditional quality scores for the EBHR high-risk surgeries with the Survival Predictor mortality composite measure;
- Introducing a new “common acute condition” that measures hospital performance on perinatal care ("normal deliveries");
- Measuring rates of an additional hospital-acquired condition that CMS will no longer pay for - central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI)
