Present comparative data effectively.
The Joint Commissions' ORYX project is impacting the way hospital caregivers evaluate performance. Ten years ago, there were very little data from external groups that could be used for comparative purposes. Today, with all the different report card initiatives, such data are easier to find. Now quality managers are facing the challenge of sharing these data with administrative and medical staff leaders in a way that allows for accurate evaluation.
