Hospital benchmarks

Hospital benchmarks are standard measurements used to evaluate a hospital’s performance against specific quality and efficiency goals. These benchmarks can include metrics like patient safety, infection rates, readmission rates, and wait times. They help hospitals identify areas where they excel or need improvement. By comparing their results to these benchmarks, hospitals can implement best practices, improve care quality, and ensure they meet industry standards. Ultimately, benchmarks serve as tools for continuous improvement and accountability, ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and timely healthcare.
