More than ever, employers recognize there is no good price for bad care. Medical Errors – accidents, injuries, and infections – are far too common in health care, and the third leading cause of death in the US. Poor quality outcomes and unnecessary care also contribute to costs without achieving value.
This webinar panel featured perspectives of both national and regional health insurance providers who use the Leapfrog Group’s assessment of quality & safety of hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) across the US.
These health insurance providers have made demonstrable improvements in outcomes of their members, employer satisfaction, and engagement among their network hospitals in quality improvement. They have fostered competitive incentive programs to reward both reporting and high performance on Leapfrog standards.
