Yet! Surprisingly few data sources on quality of care public by provider

Hospital Compare… State-by-State… Medpar… Various claims databases…

• Sometimes Medicare-only,

by system,older, political

• Varies:measures,detail
• Some states don’t

participate

• Hard to compare apples to

apples provider performance; claims missing key issues

Source LImitations

Thus, Leapfrog fills some gaps as a source of data

 By hospital facility (never by system)  Recent data  All payor  All states  Endorsed, aligned measures for apples-to-apples

comparisons

 Not available in claims  Verified
