Participating in the Productivity Benchmark Initiative

The Productivity Benchmarking Initiative is a project launched to allow adult acute hospitals to gain access to comparable productivity data at no cost.   All data is private and is only used for two (2) purposes:

  1. To build a database used in comparisons between individual institutions and all participating institutions.
  2. To develop contact information for participating institutions in order to allow the electronic transmission of reports.

Organization Information
In this section you will be asked to fill in some basic data that will allow the database to categorize your facility.  As the WRX Productivity Benchmarking Initiative is only for adult acute facilities, only data on a single adult acute facility can be entered with each registration.  To enter data on multiple facilities, multiple registrations will be necessary.

Facility Name:
Facility State: [2 letters only]
Facility Zip Code: [5 digits only]
Medicare Provider ID: [6 digits only][NOT your N.P.I.]

Key Contact Information
In this section you must provide information on the key contact responsible for ensuring data accuracy and integrity.  All submitted data will be reviewed and any questions will be directed to this person.

Key Contact Phone #: [(Area Code) Number x Extension]

Participation Choice
The WRX Productivity Benchmarking Initiative is designed to allow hospitals to gain free access to truly comparable productivity data.  As a new initiative, it may require several months before the level of participating institutions reaches a significant level.  In this section you are being asked "How many participants do you want in your comparison database group".  Make your choice wisely as this selection cannot be updated and your organization WILL NOT receive your benchmarking results UNTIL the level of participation reaches the level of your selection. 

I want my reports when there are 25 comparables
I want my reports when there are 50 comparables
I want my reports when there are 100 comparables
I want my reports when there are 200 comparables
I want my reports when there are 500 comparables

Comparables Choices (select as many as desired)

By Department By Institution Both None
Geographic
Size
Level of Collective Bargaining
Level of Automation
Level of Volume Variability

Once you click "Submit Registration" your information will be sent to WRX for initial review (to ensure that you are an eligible adult acute hospital) and an account will be set up.  Once an account has been set up, you will receive an automatic email containing your login and password information as well as a link to the data entry page of the benchmarking initiative.  Each facility is issued a unique username and password in order to protect their privacy and neither should be shared.  Participating organizations will be able to enter data for up to 180 days and data will not be submitted to the database until all data has been gathered and the participant has selected the, "Submit Final Data" button on the data entry page.

Once an account is initiated, it will be maintained in perpetuity allowing an organization to track their own trends over several years.  Each year a participant needs only to log back in to the system to enter new data.
