The Leapfrog Group is set to launch its new hospital incentives and reward program - The Leapfrog Hospital Rewards Program, or LHRP - which will be based on data collected through its updated Leapfrog Hospital Survey, which evaluates hospital patient safety.

In 2005, The Leapfrog Group launched the first version of a rewards program for hospitals in two pilot markets. The new LHRP includes a standardized measure set and scoring methodology, in addition to customizable program features, that purchasers can license and implement in local markets. The new program challenges hospitals to become top performers and rewards them for achieving progress toward this goal.
