(x a)3(x b)3y cy = 0. (ax + b)n(cx + d To measure is to know. This famous quote by Lord Kelvin underscores the importance of measuring performance. To expand on this idea, one could say, To know is to improve. An organization cannot improve its performance if it does not know first how it is performing. Without first measuring, organizations cannot gauge whether their efforts are adequate or exceptional or whether things could be improved. One effective and frequently used method for measuring and analyzing performance is benchmarking. This proven process involves comparing oneself to a benchmark (or target) or to other performance standards or organizations whether internally or externally particularly those organizations that are the best at what they do. Almost anything can be benchmarked to establish thresholds of what constitutes best performance or practice, and benchmarking can be performed within or outside the health care industry. Over the past 20 years, benchmarking has gone from being a little-known performance measurement philosophy to a standard of practice across numerous industries. Health care organizations are employing benchmarking in many aspects of their performance improvement programs to compare internal and external performance, identify best practices, and reveal opportunities for improvement. Organizations can use benchmarking anywhere along the performance improvement continuum, from launching a program to measuring its final outcome. This dynamic tool can be helpful particularly in meeting the fluid regulatory requirements, which stipulate that health organizations must quantify their performance. Regardless of how organizations use benchmarking, the ultimate goal of this process should be to improve performance. Although some individuals view benchmarking as focusing only on understanding individual problems (for example, mortality rates, infection rates, patient satisfaction rates), others understand that it presents opportunities to solve larger issues, such as providing better care, increasing customer satisfaction, and gaining a competitive edge. The concepts behind benchmarking are deceptively simple identify a problem, collect data, compare data, and respond to those comparisons. However, the intricacies involved in each of these steps can present challenges. Benchmarking in Health Care, second edition, offers potential solutions to these challenges by presenting step-by-step instructions for creating and implementing benchmarking projects, as well as improving performance. This book demonstrates how benchmarking is a continual Benchmarking: A Tool Planning a Selecting Appropriate Selecting Benchmarks Analyzing Using Benchmarking Data Introduction for Performance Improvement Benchmarking Project Benchmarking Partners and Collecting Data Benchmarking Data to Improve Performance vii
8 Benchmarking in Health Care process improvement activity that must be embedded in an organization s culture and that benchmarking is applicable to any type of health care organization anywhere in the world. Content of the Book Each chapter of this book covers a critical step in a benchmarking project. Chapter 1 establishes a foundation by defining benchmarking and the different types of benchmarking (internal and external, both within and outside health care) and lists the keys to success in benchmarking projects, particularly standardization, leadership support and involvement, adequate resources, and planning. It also explains Joint Commission standards related to benchmarking, including the new accountability measures standard, and Joint Commission International benchmarking standards, including the standard that requires organizations to choose clinical measures from the International Library of Measures. Readers will find the discussion on health care reform requirements related to benchmarking such as pay-for-performance, value-based purchasing, hospital-acquired conditions, and reducing readmissions particularly useful and applicable. Chapter 2 outlines the planning phase of a benchmarking project. When planning a benchmarking project, it is important for organizations to clearly define and understand the topic they are going to benchmark, and then to select the variables they ultimately decide to benchmark by prioritizing topics using a variety of tools (such as Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, affinity diagrams, multivoting, and prioritization matrices). After selecting an appropriate topic to benchmark, it is critical for an organization to create a benchmarking team with clearly defined roles and responsibilities and for that team to obtain leadership support and to develop a project plan that will realize the benchmarking project s goals and objectives. Chapter 3 provides a discussion of factors that organizations need to take into consideration when selecting appropriate partners for external benchmarking projects, including identifying salient characteristics of partners, determining appropriate places to locate partners, screening partners, and establishing ground rules among partners for a mutually beneficial benchmarking project. The first half concludes with a case study from Texas Children s Hospital, Houston, Texas, which implemented a project to benchmark pediatric patient falls. The second half of Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive list of 44 databases and partners that organizations can use in their benchmarking projects. These are divided according to databases and organizations that are located in the United States and those located in other regions of the world. U.S. based sources include the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Quality Forum, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, to name a few. Joint Commission benchmarking initiatives, such as accountability measures, ORYX, and The Center for Transforming Healthcare, are included in this group. Among the most notable international databases and partners are Joint Commission International, the World Health Organization, Eurostat, and the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards Clinical Indicator Program. Chapter 4 covers the next steps in a benchmarking project: selecting benchmarks and collecting data. These steps require organizations to have viii
9 Introduction consistent, well-defined, and reliable measures and data collection processes. Organizations can learn about how to select appropriate performance measures, how to decide whether to use predefined or customized measures, and how to differentiate among the different types of data (process measures, outcomes measures, and structural measures). Organizations also need to take numerous factors into consideration when collecting data, including how the data are structured (that is, the numerator and denominator) and whether to use inclusion or exclusion criteria, sampling, and stratification. Tips on where organizations can find appropriate benchmarking data are also provided; these include various types of records, forms, and electronic health records. Of central importance in any benchmarking project is ensuring that organizations collect valid, reliable, and useful data that will achieve the project goals. Chapter 4 discusses effective tools that organizations can use to collect data as well as appropriate data collection strategies, including using operationalized and standardized definitions, identifying data collection personnel and ensuring that they receive necessary training, and securing data against privacy breaches. And although all these concepts are important, ensuring that data collected are valid and reliable is a key data collection strategy covered in Chapter 4. Also included in the chapter is a case study focusing on Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California. The case study describes how the organization identified and benchmarked against best practices in performance improvement to develop a systematic performance improvement approach that could be used across the entire Kaiser Permanente organization. The next chapter, Chapter 5, discusses the importance of analyzing benchmarking data to transform them into information useful to improve performance. Important steps in the data analysis phase of a benchmarking project include adequate planning and performing a risk adjustment, if necessary, prior to data compilation followed by data analysis and data presentation. The chapter describes numerous tools organizations can use to analyze benchmarking data, including box plots, radar charts, control charts, histograms, line graphs, run charts, and Pareto charts. After data have been compiled and analyzed, these results need to be presented in a clear, concise, and informative manner to a variety of audiences. A discussion of some of the most effective tools organizations can use to display data is presented, including balanced scorecards and dashboards. A case study from the Ministry of Health Singapore is presented, which describes the agency s project to benchmark the quality of health care in Singapore. Chapter 6 discusses the culmination of an organization s benchmarking project: translating the data collected, analyzed, and displayed to real performance improvement. Organizations realize this last step in the benchmarking journey by setting realistic improvement goals, obtaining leadership support, identifying targeted interventions aimed at improving performance, successfully implementing these interventions using a variety of performance improvement methodologies (including Lean, Six Sigma, and Robust Process Improvement ), and empowering staff to implement the interventions. After implementation of the interventions when the wheels of change and improvement have been set in motion it is imperative for organizations to continually measure and monitor them to verify ix
10 Benchmarking in Health Care that improvement is indeed occurring. A continuous feedback cycle is thereby established in which interventions are monitored, any necessary adjustments are made to the processes, and the results of the revised processes are measured again, all of which lead to performance improvement. Therefore, benchmarking and performance improvement are continuous and constant parts of an organization s day-to-day operations. The book concludes with a case study from Bangkok Hospital Medical Center, Thailand, which outlines the efforts of two hospitals to benchmark rates of breast conserving therapy and share best practices for breast cancer treatment. Target Audience Benchmarking in Health Care is designed to appeal to the novice benchmarker as well as researchers with more experience, covering both the most basic concepts and more advanced practices. Health care professionals who may find this book to be useful include performance improvement directors, quality managers, risk managers, patient safety officers, nursing and other clinical leaders, medical staff leaders, and others interested in using benchmarking in their work. Hospital staff will find this book particularly applicable because they perform the bulk of benchmarking projects in their clinical activities, through participation in clinical research activities, and due to health care reform legislation that requires them to carry out numerous performance measurement related activities. This book can be of value to all types of health care organizations as they continuously engage in performance improvement projects, which necessitates their knowledge of benchmarking practices.
