Benchmarks for Finance & Operations Teams
How Does Your Program Compare?
Without external benchmarks, it's hard to know:
If your participation rates are competitive, or are you leaving data—and revenue—on the table?
If your study cycles and workflows are optimized, or do they create "administrative drag" that eats up thousands of hours annually?
If your documentation standards are audit-ready, or are they vulnerable to recall bias?
If you are using time study data to drive operational improvement, or are you just checking the box for compliance?
What the Benchmark Report Covers
Don’t just track your time studies—optimize them. Our benchmark report breaks down the repeatable strategies that top-performing hospitals use to turn compliance into a strategic advantage:

High Participation Rates
Move beyond manual prodding. Learn the communication cadence and structural design factors that allow top programs to consistently achieve a 96% participation rate.
Why It Matters
What Benchmarks Tell You That Internal Data Can't
Internal benchmarks show whether you're improving; external ones show whether you're competitive.
Participation rate standards give you a defensible threshold to measure and manage against.
Process comparisons surface the design gaps most programs don't know they have.
Outcome data connects program quality to financial performance – not just compliance status.
A credible external reference makes the case for internal investment.
