In recognition of its quality and patient safety, Hamilton Eye Institute Surgery Center was named a Leapfrog Top Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in 2023, one of only 27 selected nationally for the competitive award. This is the third year of Leapfrog’s Top ASC award, which honors top performers as verified by the Leapfrog ASC Survey. The award is presented by The Leapfrog Group, a national watchdog organization of employers and other purchasers widely acknowledged as the toughest standard-setters for health care safety and quality.
The quality of patient care across many areas of ASC performance is considered in identifying award winners, including staffing, patient experience, hand hygiene, surgical checklist protocols, and error prevention.
“Hamilton Eye Institute Surgery Center has shown that they are dedicated to providing quality care and prioritizing patient safety,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We are proud to recognize them with our highest honor as one of the Top ASCs in the country. We congratulate everyone who played a role in achieving this prestigious award.”
A total of 27 ASCs across the United States were selected as Top ASCs, representing:
- 9 States
- California, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee
- 9 Specialties
- Gastroenterology, general surgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, orthopedic surgery, urology, neurological surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery
The Leapfrog Top ASC Award is modeled after the prestigious Leapfrog Top Hospital award that has been in existence since 2006. To see the full list of institutions honored as 2023 Top ASCs, visit The Leapfrog Group.
