Description:
A guide for help in completing the Leapfrog Group Hospital Survey using VON Data from Nightingale.
A Note on which year to report:
Vermont Oxford Network collects data on the current calendar year. These data are preliminary and not "closed out." Close out of the previous year occurs from January to June, and complete Vermont Oxford Network data for the previous calendar year are posted to Nightingale by August. Leapfrog Hospital Surveys are first due in June, although centers an update surveys later. Therefore, the "year" of data that a center reports to the Leapfrog Group depends on the month in which the center completes the Leapfrog Hospital Survey.
If you are completing the Leapfrog Hospital Survey in 2024:
- Surveys submitted prior to September 1, 2024: 2022 VON data
- Surveys (re)submitted on or after September 1, 2024: 2023 VON data
If you have any questions, please contact your Vermont Oxford Network Account Manager.
