The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization that was founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers. The non-profit company is based in Washington. The American company's main initiative is the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, which assigns letter grades to hospitals based on their record of patient safety. This helps consumers protect themselves and their families from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. The flagship Leapfrog Hospital Survey and new Leapfrog Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) Survey collect and transparently report hospital and ASC performance, empowering purchasers to find the highest-value care and giving consumers the lifesaving information they need to make informed decisions. The CEO is Leah Binder.
