The Leapfrog Group has named three exemplary organizations to receive its inaugural “Living the Vision” awards at its 15th Anniversary Gala on December 1, 2015.
“For 15 years, Leapfrog has been at the center of the health care transparency movement, urging hospitals to be transparent about their performance and empowering purchasers to use this information to drive high-value care in their communities,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “At this critical moment in our history, we will highlight organizations that embody the principles on which Leapfrog was founded: transparency, excellence and value.”
