Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade

Hospital Quality Scoring Service

​​

Before you decide which hospital to use for elective care; whether in your network or not, it is advisable to check the hospital’s quality rating. You can do so by checking their Leapfrog Group (“Leapfrog”) score.

 

Leapfrog is an independent, national not-for-profit organization founded more than a decade ago by the nation’s leading employers and private health care experts. They strive to make giant “leaps” forward in the safety, quality, and affordability of health care in the U.S. by promoting transparency through our data collection and public reporting initiatives.

​​​

With their goal of saving lives by reducing errors, injuries, accidents, and infections, the Leapfrog Group focuses on measuring and publicly reporting hospital performance through the annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey.

 

The survey is a trusted, transparent, and evidence-based national tool in which over 2,300 hospitals voluntarily participate free of charge. The Leapfrog Group advocates for public access to quality and safety data from all U.S. hospitals. Their letter-based rating system (i.e., A, B, C, etc.) makes it easy for consumers and patients to make informed decisions about their quality and ability to deliver care effectively.
