Focus on Benchmarking for Innovation… • Voluntary comparisons • Search for differences • Data Methods • Clinical Practices • No “right or wrong” • Opportunity focus • Gradual fine-tuning
…Not Benchmarking for Accountability • Mandated • Uniform • Tightly defined • Score – “win/lose” • Denial “by losers” • Gaming the system • “Inspectors” needed
Basic Questions • Are our results different? • Why are we different? • Who can we learn from? • How do they do it? • How can we make it happen here?
Background on Maternity Benchmarking • Suggested for several years • Critical mass achieved in 2007 – first meeting in June • Initial indicators based on earlier WHA surveys – but using casemix data • Further discussions with WHA during 2007 to promote collaboration • Need direction from you on how to proceed in future
