At Sterling Health Services Administration, we support the right of healthcare consumers to have greater control over their own healthcare budgets.

In our efforts to support your informed healthcare purchasing decisions, we strive to identify organizations that may be of benefit to you. One such company is The Leapfrog Group. Since the year 2000, The Leapfrog Group has been working to initiate breakthrough improvements in the safety, quality and affordability of healthcare for Americans. The Leapfrog Group does this by rewarding hospitals that implement significant improvements in quality and safety and by offering consumers an annual comprehensive hospital quality ratings report.

As The Leapfrog Group states:

Today, you can probably get more information about choosing a TV than choosing a doctor or hospital.  Leapfrog is changing that by working to make reporting health care quality and outcomes a routine feature of the US health care system.  We provide information on health care quality so that you can compare hospitals, much like Consumer Reports.”

The Leapfrog ratings tool is easy to use. Simply enter your city and state; the results will include findings on quality factors including staffing levels, prevention of medication errors, and more. You can also compare several hospitals in your area.
