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. 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 Hospitals (general and specialty) that participated in the 2023 Leapfrog Hospital Survey are eligible to apply for the designation. Application materials will be available in the fall. 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.

Hospitals interested in applying can sign up below to receive the application once it is available later this fall.

Important dates and deadlines can be found here. To learn more about the partnership, see the joint press announcement here.
