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.
