The Leapfrog Group and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) partnered to launch an inpatient diabetes recognition program called Recognized Leader in Caring for People Living with Diabetes.
“The American Diabetes Association is committed to improving quality outcomes for people living with diabetes when in the clinic, community or in the hospital. Through our work with the Leapfrog group, we are moving the gold-standard for diabetes care into practice. We congratulate these outstanding hospitals networks for demonstrating their commitments to patient safety and improving the lives of people living with diabetes.”
- Osagie Ebekozien, MD, MPH, CPHQ, Chief Quality Officer, American Diabetes Association
It is the first-ever national recognition program that will recognize hospitals providing safe and high-quality health care for people living with diabetes.
Adult and general acute hospitals and specialty hospitals that care for adult inpatients and submit a Leapfrog Hospital Survey are eligible to apply for the designation. A badge will be given to only the top performers and displayed on Leapfrog’s public reporting website. Hospitals that do not meet the criteria will not be identified.
