Survey Login and Materials

The 2025 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. For general, acute-care hospitals only, some Survey Results are also used to calculate the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.

Leapfrog's Rating Programs

Leapfrog administers two different ratings programs for hospitals: the Leapfrog Hospital Survey and the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. Most every hospital is targeted to submit an annual Hospital Survey, but only general hospitals are eligible for a Hospital Safety Grade.
