Leapfrog developed the program, called Recognizing Excellence in Diagnosis, with the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine. The initiative is funded by a two-year, $1.2 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
In the program’s first year, Leapfrog and the society will convene a group of experts to identify diagnosis best practices and create a road map for healthcare organizations.
In year two, Leapfrog will pilot a national survey and collect data from up to 100 hospitals and health systems about their adoption of the best practices.
