As nearly 70% of surgeries in the U.S. are now performed in outpatient settings, The Leapfrog Group is entering a new chapter in our mission to advance transparency in health care.
In 2009, Leapfrog formed the Partners Advisory Committee (PAC), an exclusive group of national and regional health plans and solution providers.
We’re proud to announce that The Leapfrog Group earned the 2025 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest level of recognition from Candid (formerly GuideStar), the leading source for nonprofit data in the U.S.
April is C-Section Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the rates of cesarean sections (C-sections) and the need for better maternity care practices.
2025 Bruce Bradley Fellow Rachel Ungar shares her experience with the Fellowship so far.
In recognition of Leapfrog’s 25 years of commitment to patient safety, our Board of Directors has generously pledged to match every dollar donated.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of The Leapfrog Group and the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, and our annual Survey participants have been instrumental in shaping this journey.
We’re excited to introduce The Hopper, Leapfrog’s new and improved data delivery platform designed to enhance data licensees' experience with Leapfrog data. This innovative platform provides a more intuitive way to access and interact with Leapfrog data, featuring powerful visual analytics and insights to help you make informed decisions with ease.
As we observe Patient Safety Awareness Week, we are reminded of a startling reality: preventable errors continue to be a leading cause of death and harm in U.S. hospitals. Every day, 500 people die due to medical errors in hospitals that could have been avoided.
The Leapfrog Group’s Partners Advisory Committee has launched the EVS Workgroup LinkedIn page, Hiding in Plain Sight: Steps to a Safer Indoor Environment.
Creating a culture of safety is more than following protocols; it’s about fostering an environment in which those protocols are actively integrated into the day-to-day work of health care professionals. "The Pitt," a new medical drama on Max, offers a portrayal of emergency medicine that aligns with many of the challenges and issues around patient safety identified by The Leapfrog Group.
The second week of February marks Sepsis Survivor Week, a time to reflect on the importance of recognizing, preventing and treating sepsis. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that claims over 250,000 lives annually in the U.S. alone, making it one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in hospitals. It can develop from any infection, and when not treated quickly, it can lead to organ failure, amputation or even death.
The Leapfrog Group, in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, hosted its inaugural Best Practices Poster Session during the 2024 Annual Meeting on December 17th at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, Maryland. This groundbreaking event provided hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) an opportunity to showcase innovative strategies and solutions aligned with Leapfrog’s Hospital Survey, ASC Survey and Hospital Safety Grade Standards.
