External benchmarking
is the comparison of practices and outcome scores
between agencies. External benchmarking might involve comparing your
ADL/IADL scores to those of agencies of similar size and operating status. You
might wish to compare your outcomes to those of agencies that are in the same
geographic location. Your organization may want to set certain external high
performance norms revealed through this benchmarking process as internal
goals. Such analyses allow you to assess your competitive position and identify
the areas that require attention if your organization is to remain competent
providers of care and competitive in today’s marketplace.
Both types of benchmarking are supported by OCS-OASIS. Internal
benchmarking can be accomplished by running ad hoc reports at your agency
and using the sorting, grouping, and constraint features to compare different
areas. External benchmarking can occur after OCS has received and
aggregated the data from all users and released the quarterly benchmark
reports. These reports compare each of your OASIS outcome scores to regional,
national, state, system and characteristic-group norms. Examples of these
reports are included at the end of this chapter.
Deadlines for Submitting Quarterly Data
To be included in the comparative database, your quarterly data must be
