The medical practice today is relentlessly challenged by medical progress, by rising costs, and by the mounting pressures of the managed care environment. It should be the approach of every medical practice manager and practitioner to seek out and measure up to the best standards so as to optimize patient care and business outcomes. This requires the resolute pursuit of good models, brought about by the fostering of key collaborative relationships that are both practical and strategic. Integral to this process is benchmarking: the way by which information is obtained from both internal and external sources to determine and set the standards for performance. Benchmarking is an invaluable strategic tool.
