HID Healthcare RTLS Partners with The Leapfrog Group
Patient safety is not a destination. It is a continuous commitment.
Across the healthcare system, organizations are working to deliver safer care, while navigating increasing operational complexity, workforce constraints and growing expectations for transparency. Meeting that challenge requires more than individual effort. It requires collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem.
That is why HID Healthcare RTLS is proud to partner with The Leapfrog Group, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing healthcare safety, quality and transparency across the United States.
This partnership reflects a shared belief that meaningful and measurable improvements in patient safety occur when data, standards and accountability work together, and when industry partners contribute their expertise to help raise the bar for care delivery.
A Shared Commitment to Transparency and Safer Care
For more than two decades, The Leapfrog Group has played a critical role in improving healthcare safety by increasing visibility into hospital performance. Through rigorous standards and public reporting programs, including the widely recognized Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, the organization has helped shine a light on issues such as medical errors, infections and preventable harm.
This transparency empowers patients, purchasers and healthcare leaders to make more informed decisions about care quality and safety.
At HID Healthcare RTLS, we believe transparency is foundational to progress. When healthcare organizations have access to accurate, timely insights into how care is delivered, they are better positioned to identify risks, strengthen accountability and drive sustainable improvement.
Our partnership with Leapfrog brings together complementary strengths: Leapfrog’s leadership in safety measurement and public reporting, and HID’s expertise in technology-driven visibility and operational intelligence within healthcare environments.
“We’re excited to partner with Leapfrog because of their clear commitment to patient safety, an ethos that strongly aligns with our own. At HID, patient safety is foundational to every RTLS healthcare solution we build, and together we’re focused on helping hospitals deliver safer, more reliable care.” – Kerry Brock, VP Sales, HID Healthcare RTLS
Contributing Industry Expertise to Shape the Future
As part of this collaboration, HID Healthcare RTLS serves on Leapfrog’s Partners Advisory Committee, which provides strategic guidance on emerging trends, evolving policy considerations and innovative approaches to improving patient safety.
Participating in this advisory group reflects our commitment to actively contributing to the broader conversation about how healthcare systems can continue to improve safety and quality. By sharing our perspective and experience, we aim to support initiatives that not only define high standards, but also help healthcare organizations implement those standards in real-world clinical environments.
Elevating Best Practices Through Data and Insight
One area where Leapfrog has set particularly ambitious expectations is hand hygiene excellence.
Grounded in evidence-based best practices developed by a national Hand Hygiene Expert Panel and aligned with the World Health Organization’s Five Moments for Hand Hygiene, Leapfrog’s standards emphasize the critical role consistent hand hygiene plays in reducing infection risk and improving patient outcomes.
Achieving and sustaining high performance in this area requires more than policy. It requires visibility.
Technology-driven insights and objective data can help healthcare organizations better understand compliance patterns, identify opportunities for improvement, and reinforce a culture of safety for both patients and caregivers. When data is used not simply for reporting, but for continuous learning and improvement, it becomes a powerful driver of change.
Collaboration as a Catalyst for Safer Care
“Our collaboration with HID Healthcare RTLS brings valuable insight and expertise to our work,” said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem are essential to advancing patient safety.”
Looking ahead, HID Healthcare RTLS remains focused on supporting initiatives that promote safer clinical environments, greater accountability and better outcomes across the continuum of care.
By partnering with organizations such as The Leapfrog Group, we aim to help healthcare leaders move beyond compliance and toward a more proactive, data-informed approach to safety and quality.
Because when transparency and technology align with purpose, progress follows.
