THE BENCH Project
Started in 1992, the mission of the mmp|BENCH benchmarking project is to improve pediatric health care by championing best practices and fostering performance improvement. With its unrivaled pediatric data and knowledge base, BENCH sets the standard for excellence.
"There is no question about the value of mmp|BENCH. The charts and data are perfect tools for reviewing performance with my executive and management team."

The Data Difference
The sole focus of BENCH is pediatric performance improvement. The data gathered and shared covers the full span of in-patient pediatrics, from Administration to Volunteers, with Asthma, Child Life, Hematology-Oncology, Social Work, and scores of other functions in between.
Accessible and Customizable
ChartBuilder tracks data on a broad number of indicators covering every aspect of pediatric care. It is a performance improvement suite, and an invaluable benchmarking tool. Easy to use, and highly customizable, ChartBuilder gives users the ability to create a personalized dashboard in the My Charts section. Here charts specific to a department or user can be created with selected indicators; charts comparing with other participating hospitals also can be created. Each quarter, these charts-including the custom designed ones-are automatically updated with new data submission.
With ChartBuilder, data can tell the story behind the performance.
