Leapfrog Maternity Care Quality Brief

Deciding which hospitals to include in a health plan is an increasingly important quality of care and cost decision for organizations. For employers (and employees) a critical resource for determining preferred hospitals is the Hospital Survey by The Leapfrog Group. The survey generates a “report card” on hospital performance, safety standards, and outcomes using objective data and important information and insights provided by the hospital itself. The results are published and used locally and nationally.

Having a baby is one of life’s most exciting experiences, but the type of care received in the hospital can vary greatly. This Leapfrog Maternity Care Quality Brief highlights individual and aggregate DFW area hospital data for C-sections and Episiotomies, along with the Spring 2024 Hospital Safety Grade from Leapfrog.
