“Our members are dispersed in every zip code across the country, so it’s difficult for us to connect with them. We're very committed to improving our members’ health, and, as plan leaders, need to be exposed to the thinking of leaders in this realm, which is why we joined GPBCH. The Coalition helps us with creating messaging, our value proposition, and comparisons vs. others.

“Through GPBCH, the State of Delaware engaged with Leapfrog and other initiatives to improve healthcare value and promoted the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, resulting in all Delaware hospitals participating in 2020. Delaware experienced dramatic improvements in the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades. The state moved from having no ‘A’ Safety Grade hospitals in spring 2019 to four ‘A’ hospitals in fall 2020. We commend Delaware’s hospitals for their continued commitment to improving healthcare quality and safety in our state.”
