On May 1, Discern Managing Partner Guy D’Andrea participated in a panel presentation on the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Platform. Guy joined a panel to review how Capital Blue Cross in Pennsylvania has used the Leapfrog program to measure and improve the performance of its network hospitals. The panel was part of the Blue Cross Blue Shield National Conference near Dallas, Texas.

The Leapfrog Group is Discern Health’s longest-standing client. Since 2005, Discern has worked with Leapfrog on the design and implementation of the hospital program. The program uses data from a Leapfrog survey to benchmark hospitals’ quality and safety performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
