  • Review of clinician attitudes towards financial vs. clinical data in benchmarking.
  • Identification of "Better Performers" based on procedure success, cost, and time.

    • Main Results:

    • Benchmarking based on clinical procedure codes (CPTs) is more credible to clinicians than financial-only benchmarking.
    • High-performing organizations ("Better Performers") achieve successful procedures at lower costs and in less time.
    • Successful strategies from "Better Performers" can be adopted by other facilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical procedure benchmarking using CPT codes offers a more credible approach for healthcare professionals.
