Reduced costs, improved efficiency and smarter risk management are amongthe key benefits found in a range of core performance areas of previousbenchmarking studies.
Mr. Bishop said that, "the previous international studies had resulted insubstantial cost reduction for hospitals. This included hospitals reducingtheir vehicle claims by up to 43% per year, and improving the energyefficiency of buildings. Many of the gains have been painless to the hospitalsoften from negotiating with suppliers based on true market information."
The unique aspect of this study is that it focuses on the key supportservice inputs to driving better clinical outcomes. The study measures andcompares each hospitals performance to identify areas of improvement.
This is the fourth benchmarking study of its kind undertaken since 1999.The first two studies were led by former accounting giant, Arthur Andersen.Reset Group further developed this initiative to provide clients withrelevant, accurate and independent data presented to best meet theexpectations of management and stakeholders.
