Each year, The Leapfrog Group asks every adult and free-standing pediatric general acute-care hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center in the U.S. to voluntarily complete the Leapfrog Hospital Survey and the Leapfrog ASC Survey.
The Leapfrog Group’s standards are updated annually to reflect the latest science and are designed to drive better outcomes for patients. Results are publicly reported by individual bricks-and-mortar facilities. Leapfrog uses the Survey data to track and share facilities’ progress on key issues of safety and quality.
