Data helps children’s hospitals improve clinical outcomes and find operational efficiencies. Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) aggregates data from children's hospitals and health systems so leaders can identify opportunities for improvement and celebration.
From operating margins to staff turnover to case mix index, our data programs allow hospitals to benchmark hundreds of clinical and operational metrics against peers while monitoring their own performance.
Data specifically for children’s hospitals
When it comes to using comparative data to identify improvement opportunities, it’s important to focus on hospitals and patient populations that mirror your own. That’s why we created a suite of pediatric-specific data and benchmarking solutions with children’s hospitals’ needs in mind.
Using more than 2,500 pediatric-specific data points, participation with CHA supports member hospitals as they:
- Explore key children’s hospital industry trends.
- Increase compliance with sepsis recognition and treatment best practices.
- Measure clinically effective care in accordance with established pediatric care guidelines.
- Investigate stewardship opportunities for antimicrobial utilization.
- Published more than 1,000 peer-reviewed articles.
- Assess equitable care practices.
- Identify early warning signs of potential harm.
- Advocate for children and families with needed services that are not available in their own state.
