About the Leapfrog Hospital Recognition Program
The Leapfrog Hospital Recognition Program™ (LHRP) is a comprehensive hospital pay-for-performance program that focuses on the most important national patient safety,
quality, and resource use standards. These standards are taken directly from The Leapfrog Hospital Survey which serves as the database for the Leapfrog Hospital
Recognition Program.
Through LHRP, a hospital is scored for its performance on each of Leapfrog’s 18 standards. Individual scores, which range from 0 (lowest performance) to 100 (highest
performance), are then compared against state and national averages. Scores for each hospital are calculated using the LHRP Scoring Methodology (see
www.leapfroggroup.org/lhrpreports for details) and then rolled up into three composite scores: Quality, Resource Use, and Value. The three composite scores are used in
national Quality and Resource Use comparisons and the Value decile rankings.
LHRP uses data collected through The Leapfrog Hospital Survey each year to evaluate hospital performance in numerous clinical focus areas:
• Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
• ICU Physician Staffing (IPS)
• Evidence-Based Hospital Referrals (AVR, AAA, Pancreatectomy, Esophagectomy, and High-risk Newborn Deliveries)
• Maternity Care (Early Elective Deliveries, Episiotomy, Maternity Care Quality)
• Managing Serious Errors (CLABSI, CAUTI, Never Events, Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers, and Hospital-Acquired Injuries)
• Readmissions for Common Acute Conditions (AMI, Heart Failure, and Pneumonia)
• Length of Stay Composites for Common Acute Conditions (AMI, Heart Failure, Pneumonia)
• Safe Practices
LHRP Reports are available for all hospitals that completed The 2013 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. The 2013 LHRP Reports contain data collected from 1,324 hospitals in all 50
states, including the District of Columbia.

Summary Report for SAMPLE HOSPITAL
Your LHRP Scores
For More Information
September 24, 2013
This report contains detailed information about how your hospital compares to others in the state and across the country on 18 performance standards. For each standard,
your hospital earned a score from 0-100. These scores were calculated by applying the Leapfrog Hospital Recognition Program (LHRP) Scoring Methodology to the data you
submitted to The 2013 Leapfrog Survey. Information about the LHRP Scoring Methodology is included in this report.
The Quality score is based on a hospital's performance on the following
national quality standards:
•Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
•ICU Physician Staffing (IPS)
•Evidence-Based Hospital Referrals (AVR, AAA, Pancreatectomy,
Esophagectomy, and High-risk Newborn Deliveries)
•Maternity Care (Early Elective Deliveries, Episiotomy, and Maternity Care
Quality)
•Managing Serious Errors (CLABSI, CAUTI, Never Events Policies, HospitalAcquired Pressure Ulcers, and Hospital-Acquired Injuries)
•NQF Safe Practices
The Resource Use score is based on a hospital's performance on the following
national quality standards:
•Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
•ICU Physician Staffing (IPS)
•Early Elective Deliveries
•Readmission Composite for Common Acute Conditions (AMI, Heart Failure,
Pneumonia)
•Length of Stay Composite for Common Acute Conditions (AMI, Heart Failure,
Pneumonia)
•Managing Serious Errors (CLABSI, CAUTI, Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers, and
Hospital-Acquired Injuries)
The Value score is a combination of Quality (65%) and Resource Use (35%). For example, if your overall Quality score was 60 and your overall Resource Use score was 40,
your Value Score would be: (60 × 65%) + (40 × 35%) = 39 + 14 = 53.
