The Power of Transparency to Transform Patient Safety

February 19, 2024

In response to growing concerns around hospital safety and the impact on patient experience, The Leapfrog Group was founded to establish core safety standards and grading mechanisms for hospitals and empower employers to make data-informed purchasing decisions.

On this episode of the Business Group on Health podcast, Leah Binder joins us to discuss the work The Leapfrog Group is doing to promote transparency around hospital quality and safety and drive a culture of improvement. Leah shares how this data can be used by hospitals to improve their processes, and by employers and consumers alike to make informed choices.
