"Benchmarking for Practice Success" Edwards Deming said many decades ago, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure”. The purpose of benchmarking in healthcare is to improve efficiency, quality of care, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. The process involves looking at standards, best practices, and evidence-based practices and then identifying potential areas of improvement. This session will focus on Organizational, Financial, and Quality benchmarking using case studies to demonstrate how to create new thinking in your healthcare organizations. The process of benchmarking charts your own practice against a benchmark for an actual comparison and uses the information to drive change in the organization.
