The Leapfrog Group and the American College of Surgeons have established a new designation for hospitals that provide high-quality surgical care for older adults.
The Recognized Leader in Geriatric Surgery designation is based on performance in the American College of Surgeons’ Geriatric Surgery Verification program, and Leapfrog’s Hospital Survey and Hospital Safety Grades, according to a July 15 news release.
Hospitals that participate in the ACS Geriatric Surgery Verification program, earn an A or B Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade and demonstrate strong performance in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey will be eligible to receive the designation beginning in 2027.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
