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 four-quarter time frame, 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.
