Through participation in the Leapfrog ASC Survey and engaging in the public comment process, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) continue to demonstrate their commitment to transparency. This empowers employers and purchasers to find the highest-value care while giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. Hospital and ASC Survey Results are publicly reported on Leapfrog’s website so stakeholders can compare hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) and ASCs side-by-side. Participating ASCs are also eligible for consideration for awards programs including the Leapfrog Top ASC designation.
Since the inaugural launch of the Leapfrog ASC Survey in 2019, Leapfrog has worked with ASCs, its Board of Directors, Regional Leaders, our national expert panel, the research faculty at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and purchaser members to develop Survey content. We also work with and rely upon our Ambulatory Surgery Center Advisory Committee, launched in March 2022, to advise on key issues related to ASC safety, quality, and efficiency.
Leapfrog’s scientific experts review the latest evidence and literature to refine the current measures included in the Survey and propose changes for each upcoming year. We then seek public comment on the proposed changes and use stakeholder feedback to finalize the Survey.
The public comment period for the Proposed Changes to the 2025 Leapfrog ASC Survey has closed.

Final changes to the 2025 Leapfrog ASC Survey will be posted prior to April 1.
