Alignment with Other National Programs
Many of the measures included in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey are in use by other national agencies and organizations including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), and The Joint Commission. For general hospitals, some of the measures are used to calculate the Hospital Safety Grade.

The Webinar Series is held monthly from March to December and includes monthly office hours in addition to monthly webinars.
Leapfrog's Rating Programs
Leapfrog administers two different ratings programs for hospitals: the Leapfrog Hospital Survey and the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade. Most every hospital is targeted to submit an annual Hospital Survey, but only general hospitals are eligible for a Hospital Safety Grade.
