Leapfrog CEO Steps Down

Suzanne Delbanco is leaving her post as CEO of The Leapfrog Group (Washington), a consortium of large employers and other purchasers of healthcare, sometime in the fall.

The organization's board has launched a search for her replacement.

According to Leapfrog, Delbanco has helped to facilitate many of the group's initial goals including the adoption of standard measures on quality and safety, public reporting on those measures, and the use of incentives by healthcare purchasers to recognize providers who perform well on those indicators.
