Step 9 allows you to review and process the results of your hard work. Registry metrics and benchmarks are completed with green status aggregations and populate our registry dashboards with close-to-real-time data as well as provide on-demand reporting options for certain registries. Static benchmark reporting options are available for some registries based on rolling for quarter processes. A benchmark is a point of reference against which hospital metrics are compared to volume group aggregates and total registry aggregates with passing statuses. Benchmark comparisons are available in the NCDR dashboards as well as in the registry-specific institutional outcomes reports. Benchmark reports provide a quarterly or on-demand detailed analysis of hospital performance in relation to a specific facility, like volume comparison groups, or the entire NCDR registry aggregate population. The NCDR dashboard is a centralized location providing users an analytical, streamlined tool to access your hospital's metric performance online. Features include at-a-glance view of your hospital's executive summary metric performance with the ability to drill down to view the patient-level detail report. It also provides the ability to trend facilities' metric performance in relation to the registry-wide 50th percentile performance. The ability to perform comparative and trend analysis to a subset of registry hospitals in the comparative tool and provides additional reports such as outcomes and public reporting. Benchmarking reports give insight into care variations and quality improvement opportunities and provide the opportunity to compare hospital practice patterns. Benchmark data is organized into a rolling for quarter timeframe, which helps define the dated content of outcomes reports and dashboard reporting. Each quarter of data is sorted by discharge date. R4Q refers to the most recent data quarter and the three quarters prior. As new data is sorted by quarter and added to the reporting cycle, the oldest data quarter will drop off of reporting. This continuous cycle creates a rolling four quarters. Registry metrics allow you to review and process the results of your hard work.
