Survey Login and Materials

The 2021 Leapfrog Hospital Survey is free and open to hospitals from April 1 to November 30. The annual survey assesses hospital safety, quality, and efficiency based on national performance measures that are of specific interest to health care purchasers and consumers. Survey Results are publicly reported, and provide hospitals with information to benchmark their progress in improving the care they deliver.

July 31 Submission Deadline Reminder

Leapfrog extended the Submission Deadline from June 30 to July 31 as part of our continued response to COVID-19. Hospitals that submit a Survey by July 31 will have their Leapfrog Hospital Survey Results publicly reported starting in August. After August, Results are updated on the fifth business day of the month to reflect Surveys (re)submitted by the end of the previous month. Hospitals that do not submit a Survey by July 31 will be publicly reported as "Declined to Respond" until a Survey has been submitted.

Leapfrog's Rating Programs

Leapfrog rates hospitals through its two main initiatives: the Leapfrog Hospital Survey and the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. If you receive hospital communications from Leapfrog, you may have seen information on both of these programs, perhaps even around the same time.

The infographic at right is meant to help you understand the differences between these two programs.
