Question Where did you get the averages in the answer that was given??? I want to research the site.

Identify 25 key benchmarks for hospitals within the U.S. healthcare system. Align the benchmarks into one of the three broad categories quality, operations, and financial. If you feel the benchmark doesnt align with these three categories, please fill in which category you would place it in. You must have at least 5 benchmarks in each broad category. Then identify the industry standard, whether the mean or median (each metric is different), and record them in a table format similar to the template provided in Table 1 (see Appendix). This is an example of identifying industry best practices and aligning healthcare facilities with evidence-based outcomes. Make sure you identify a true benchmark and not just an operating statistic. For example, the total number of beds or outpatient visits is not a benchmark. A better example of a benchmark would be cost per bed, or revenue per outpatient visit. You may not be able to find a metric for some benchmarks, but if you combine multiple data sources, you can calculate the benchmark. In the provided example, if you found a hospitals total annual expenses and the number of beds, then you could determine the cost per bed. Ans.
