title: Benchmarking and beyond. Information trends in home care.
abstract: With today's benchmarking concepts and tools, agencies have the unprecedented opportunity to use information as a strategic advantage. Because agencies are demanding more and better information, benchmark functionality has grown increasingly sophisticated. Agencies now require a new type of analysis, focused on high-level executive summaries while reducing the current "data overload."
