Join us for Leapfrog’s 2022 Annual Meeting
The 2022 Leapfrog Annual Meeting titled “Right NOW: The Urgency of Patient Safety,” will focus on the crucial need to address and improve patient safety in America’s health care system TODAY. Hundreds of people are dying every day due to preventable medical errors in hospitals. This is not acceptable and must change right now. We all have a role to play in improving patient safety. Our meeting will bring together stakeholders from all sides of health care – employers, policymakers, hospital and ASC leaders, patient advocates, and other industry partners – to discuss how we can all take immediate action to prioritize patient safety in American health care.
