Program

Heightened budgetary pressures today demand regular evaluation of organizational performance both over time and relative to others. Benchmarking hospital professional liability costs against industry data is an effective way for risk managers to evaluate an organization’s status and communicate progress to leadership.

But if you don’t understand the benchmarking process, you cannot fully realize its value as a performance improvement tool. This webinar, led by a risk management professional with actuarial expertise, will show how to tap into the benefits of benchmarking.

Enhance your ability to collect good data and evaluate results, and then use it to champion the opportunity for change.

Learning Objectives

• Identify the benefits of benchmarking for your organization;
• Assess available benchmarks and their appropriateness to your organization;
• Examine potential issues with the integrity of your organization’s data;
• Determine approaches to improve data integrity;
• Evaluate your organization’s results relative to your chosen benchmark; and
• Describe the limitations of benchmarking.
