LEAPFROG GROUP

In a country where more than 200,000 lives are lost every year because of preventable medical errors, Leapfrog is fighting to build a movement for transparency. We serve as a voice for health care purchasers, using their collective influence to foster radical, positive change in U.S. health care... Founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey collects and transparently reports hospital performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, Leapfrog's other main initiative, assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety, helping consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.
