Align the benchmarks into one of the three broad categories – quality, operations, and financial. If you feel the benchmark doesn’t align with these three categories, please fill in which category you would place it in. You must have at least 5 benchmarks in each broad category. Then identify the industry standard, whether the mean or median (each metric is different), and record them in a table format similar to the template provided in Table 1 (see Appendix). This is an example of identifying industry best practices and aligning healthcare facilities with evidence-based outcomes. Make sure you identify a true benchmark and not just an operating statistic. Example, the total number of beds or outpatient visits is not a benchmark. A better example of a benchmark would be “cost per bed”, or “revenue per outpatient visit.” You may not be able to find a metric for some benchmarks, but if you combine…arrow_forward
