The Leapfrog Group

Composed of more than 120 public and private organizations that provide health care benefits, The Leapfrog Group works with medical experts throughout the U.S. to identify problems and propose solutions that it believes will improve hospital systems that could break down and harm patients. Representing approximately 33 million health care consumers in all 50 states, Leapfrog provides important information and solutions for consumers and health care providers. The Leapfrog Group focuses on the quality of certain aspects of care relevant to urban area hospitals. Patients are usually in fragile health when in the hospital and the consequences of preventable medical mistakes can be serious. All hospitals are invited to complete the web survey and share information with their communities about their efforts to reduce preventable medical mistakes
