Benchmarking System Helps You Compare
The AARC has developed a web-based benchmarking system that will allow respiratory therapy departments to report and compare data with other respiratory therapy departments.
Through their personal computers, participants can periodically report on selected high-volume procedures that are easily defined and captured into a database.
From the database, participants can extract standard and customized reports that compare their key operational indicators to those of other similar departments. Participants will have considerable latitude in defining their compare groups based on the departmental characteristics they choose to assure a good “apples-to-apples” comparison. Get detailed information about the AARC Benchmarking System.
Click on “Educational Resources” at the AARC Benchmarking System web site home page to access tools to get started, article reprints, a benchmarking bibliography and webcasts to learn more about the process of benchmarking. The purpose of this benchmarking system is to assist managers in providing accurate data to support administrative decisions, to identify and promote best practices in the profession, and to address manager dissatisfaction with current proprietary systems.
