Whether you are comparing hospitals in your community, evaluating maternity care services or reviewing outcomes for a specific procedure, Leapfrog’s ratings offer an independent, transparent view into how facilities are performing on the measures that matter most.
In 2009, Leapfrog formed the Partners Advisory Committee (PAC), an exclusive group of national and regional health plans, hospital systems and enterprise vendors. These organizations advise Leapfrog on key industry trends and collaborate on a number of partner-driven initiatives.
We’re proud to announce that The Leapfrog Group earned the 2025 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest level of recognition from Candid (formerly GuideStar), the leading source for nonprofit data in the U.S.
We hosted the 2025 Leapfrog Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner on December 15 at the Gaylord National Harbor just outside of Washington, DC, to celebrate Leapfrog’s 25th anniversary. This event highlighted the transformative impact of transparency on patient safety, bringing together health care leaders, advocates and innovators who have driven progress over the past quarter-century. This special gathering commemorated Leapfrog’s legacy and charted the course for the future of health care.
In recognition of Leapfrog’s 25 years of commitment to patient safety, our Board of Directors has generously pledged to match every dollar donated.
In December 2023, leaders and other stakeholders from across the health care spectrum gathered for a special session at Leapfrog Annual Meeting called "Conversations to Transform Tomorrow." This interactive event focused on pivotal questions shaping the future of patient safety and how Leapfrog can continue to grow its efforts. Below is a summary of the key takeaways and ideas exchanged during the session.
Enhancing Consumer Engagement with Leapfrog Data
The hospital a patient chooses for care can literally be a life-or-death decision. Over 500 people die every single day in the United States from errors in hospitals—many of which are fully preventable. Hospitals that do better on the Hospital Safety Grade have good systems in place to protect patients from errors, accidents, and infections.
We’re honored to dedicate the Judie Burrows Education Institute in honor of Judie Burrows, who was a healthy, active 69-year-old when she went for routine hip surgery but was plagued with countless medical errors that eventually stole her life.
