Each year, The Leapfrog Group gathers its key stakeholders and constituents for a meeting in December to discuss current topics, issues, and trends in purchasing, benefits, and health care quality.
The 2024 Leapfrog Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner will be held on Tuesday, December 17 at The Gaylord Hotel's Riverview Ballroom in National Harbor, DC.
This year's theme, "Patients Come First," acknowledges the mountains patients must climb in their health care journeys. Together we can help smooth their path, elevate their experience and keep them safe.
The keynote of this year's Leapfrog Annual Meeting is Colonel Steven L. Coffee, Founding Member of Patients for Patient Safety US. Colonel Coffee has been an active patient safety advocate for the last decade. He co-founded the United States chapter of the World Health Organization’s Patients for Patient Safety (PFPS) initiative and is an active member of Leapfrog's Patient and Family Caregiver Expert Panel.
