The 2014 Leapfrog Group Annual Meeting 

Beyond Partisanship: Strategies for Fast Improvement in American Healthcare

Tuesday, December 2 from 1:30 - 9:00 PM EST

The 2014 Annual Meeting has been pre-approved by the HR Certification Institute for three credit hours. The use of this seal is not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the quality of the program.  It means that this program has met the HR Certification Institute's criteria to be pre-approved for recertification credit.

The Leapfrog Group 2014 Annual Meeting & Top Hospital Awards will be an intimate gathering of key decision-makers from Leapfrog's influential list of purchaser members, industry partners, healthcare stakeholders, and national collaborators.  Following the meeting, representatives from Leapfrog's 2014 Top Hospitals will be honored for their achievements at the evening's Top Hospital Reception. 

Following closely on the heels of the midterm election, our topic for this year is: Beyond Partisanship: Strategies for Fast Improvement in American Healthcare. We are aiming to circumvent partisan politics to focus on issues we can all come together on: patient safety, transparency, prevention, and patient empowerment.
