Here are five ways benchmarking can improve ASC quality:

1. Benchmarking allows centers to compare their own performance to other facilities.

2. ASCs can also discover best practices through benchmarking.

3. After conducting a benchmarking study, ASCs can use the information gathered to design quality improvement programs.

4. After comparing performance to a peer, the ASC staff can get a better idea of the level of quality that can be achieved.

5. Continuous internal benchmarking can also ensure performance is maintained.
