BENCH is where Pediatric Hospitals come to get better.

Pediatric Focus

Children are not small adults and children's hospitals are not small adult hospitals. A radiology film on a squirming child takes more time and staff. BENCH data is pediatric, un-blinded, and relevant to your daily needs.

Information When You Need It

BENCH's active discussion community and topical conference calls are paired with a robust Knowledgebase of in-depth surveys, articles and white papers. Accessible and useful information when you need it.

Operational & Clinical Characteristics

BENCH maintains and updates characteristics for each hospital and each department, including work processes, organizational charts, policies, and skill mix. You discover the processes behind the data.

 

Customizable Dashboard

Create a custom dashboard with data critical to your department. The dashboard quickly and graphically answers the "How are we doing" question. Best of all-the data is current through your last quarter.

Data Dictionary. Each BENCH indicator is defined within the Data Dictionary, and appears on each page of ChartBuilder. We understand the critical nature of clarifying data, and practice that on an on-going basis. During conference calls and BENCH meetings, discussions on data clarity are regularly on the agenda.

The on-going effort of performance improvement begins at this granular level, when the question of "what does ‘x' mean?" is raised.

Total Performance Improvement

ChartBuilder provides the tools to track and communicate the performance of your department. Through customizable charts, comparison groups, and data automatically updated every quarter, it is a powerful tool that tells your story well.

With BENCH you network with other pediatric professionals. Topical conference calls and discussion boards give your team access to a national group of experts, all focused on improving pediatric health care.
