The Leapfrog Group, known for its annual hospital grade rankings, has announced the launch of a new hospital recognition program specifically for facilities and systems that exhibit a commitment to the care and safety of inpatients with diabetes.

The program is said to be the first in the nation to recognize hospitals for such a purpose. Its launch was a dual effort from the Leapfrog Group and the American Diabetes Association with the purpose of raising awareness about the condition’s specific type of care needs.

“This is an important recognition because people with diabetes have increased risks, including amputation, and may need specific care,” an Aug. 9 news release reads.
