At The Leapfrog Group, we believe in transparency and improving #PatientSafety nationwide. Our hand hygiene standard has shown incredible progress, from just 11% of hospitals meeting our standard in 2020, to 74% in 2023. This effort plays a crucial role in reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Learn more in this insightful article from Infection Control Today: https://lnkd.in/gZhpPM2X

Garg, a leader in diabetes care and member of the ADA Standards of Care Committee.

During their time with us, Binder and the ADA team toured our facilities, engaged with hospital leaders and team members, and explored how our innovative diabetes care program is improving patient outcomes. We’re also excited to share that our Diabetes Center of Excellence Manager, Dr. Angela Hodges, will be a panelist at Leapfrog's annual meeting next month. She will speak about our diabetes program and the exceptional care we provide here at Texas Health Huguley.

Delighted to be moderating a phenomenal panel at The Leapfrog Group's Annual Meeting & Awards Dinner (December 7, in DC).
