  • Title: Using benchmarking techniques to improve efficiency and quality in cardiology services: Part two.
    Author: Alba TJ, Auton GM.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Manag; 1994; 5(3):20-5. PubMed ID: 10134769.
    Abstract:
    Hospital administrators have accepted the challenges of operating under a capitated or total fixed payment system under managed care. Part of that challenge for managers is the dramatic shift from being revenue producers to being cost managers. Benchmarking a complete DRG process is one way to compare which hospitals are providing the highest-quality care at the lowest cost.
