Assisting staff with comparing this current state to the ideal future state, comparing national benchmarks and clinical best practices helps your staff innovate and co-create an individualized plan to get your service line to a higher level.

3rd solution - Utilizing dashboard metrics of the critical to success factors, to sustain and improve your service line.
