New ASC Public Reporting Program

LEAPFROG WILL RATE THE SAFETY & QUALITY OF THOUSANDS MORE AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS IN 2026

Leapfrog is overhauling its ASC Survey and public reporting program so every patient receiving care in an ASC can access the same life-saving information about patient safety and quality that has long been available for inpatient hospital care.

Leapfrog will score and publicly report safety and quality data available through CMS for thousands of ASCs, and for those ASCs voluntarily participating with Leapfrog, ratings from a shorter ASC Survey and from accreditation status will also be publicly reported. We will vastly expand the number of ASCs Leapfrog publicly rates on patient safety and quality, reduce the time it takes ASCs to be rated by Leapfrog and give consumers and purchasers more information when deciding where to seek surgery. Additionally, as participation in ASC Survey 2.0 grows, ASCs themselves benefit from more robust benchmarking, facilitating new opportunities for quality improvement that results in safe, high quality patient outcomes.
