This year marks the 25th anniversary of The Leapfrog Group and the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, and our annual Survey participants have been instrumental in shaping this journey. Our mission is to advance patient safety and quality through transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. The willingness of hospital and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) leadership to uphold the highest standards of excellence has elevated American health care, empowering patients and families while inspiring continuous improvement across the industry.
We are excited to announce that the 2025 Leapfrog Hospital Survey and Leapfrog ASC Survey are now open! This is an opportunity for hospitals and ASCs across the country to showcase their commitment to providing high-quality, safe care.
Why Participate in the Leapfrog Surveys?
Participation in the Leapfrog Hospital and ASC Surveys provides hospitals and surgery centers with the opportunity to publicly report their performance on a broad range of safety and quality measures. By participating in the Leapfrog Hospital and ASC Surveys, hospitals and surgery centers can:
-
Benchmark their performance against national standards and peers.
-
Improve patient care by identifying areas for improvement and implementing best practices.
-
Enhance public trust through transparency in safety and quality performance.
-
Earn recognition for excellent patient care through Leapfrog’s awards programs.
The data collected in these surveys will be publicly reported on Leapfrog's website, allowing consumers, employers and purchasers to make informed decisions when selecting care providers. For general, acute-care hospitals, some Survey Results are also used to calculate the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade.
What's New in the 2025 Surveys?
Each year, Leapfrog reviews the latest science, gathers public comments and collaborates with expert panels to ensure the Surveys reflect the most up-to-date practices and needs of health care facilities and patients. Some of the updates include structural, content and scoring changes, as well as information on Leapfrog's new reporting policy following cyber security and other events that result in limited data availability. A summary of changes is available for review for both the 2025 Leapfrog Hospital Survey and the 2025 Leapfrog ASC Survey.
These updates are designed to ensure that the Leapfrog Surveys remain an invaluable tool for hospitals and ASCs to measure, report and improve their patient safety and quality practices.
