Excerpt

Originating from the surveyors’ practice of placing chiseled horizontal marks in stone structures to form a “bench” for consistent placement of a leveling rod, the term “benchmarking” has evolved to mean the comparison of a business (or healthcare institution) with industry leaders, by evaluating a series of performance metrics. Benchmarking has been divided into the broad categories of process, performance, and strategic benchmarking, and has also been classified as internal (within the same institution) or external benchmarking. In relation to critical care medicine, benchmarking involves the use of quantitative, standardized measurements to allow comparison of performance between intensive care units (ICUs) [1]. …
