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.

The 2025 Leapfrog Deep Dive Series for Hospitals will feature two Leapfrog Hospital Survey Boot Camp sessions to help hospitals prepare for the 2025 Leapfrog Hospital Survey and one Hospital Safety Grade session to help hospitals better understand how Survey Results are used to calculate Safety Grades.
