Hospitals across the region are competing in a number of areas, including quality and price, and use benchmarking as a way to determine the area’s most in need of improvement. The continuous process of benchmarking allows hospital executives to see how their organizations stack up against competitors as well as national leaders.

The review of The GCC Healthcare Performance: 2016 Benchmarking Report will provide policy makers, hospital managers and clinicians with a range of options for the selection of key performance indicators for hospital benchmarking and offers them the opportunity to gain more insights upon the current healthcare performance standards and what matters the most in this industry.

The report brings professionals a complete structure encompassing three equally important dimensions:

  • The Patient Focus – This dimension focuses on patient experience, assessing the interaction between hospitals and patients in terms of medical service quality, timeliness of medical care or patients experience and safety. At the same time, developing a patient centered approach to hospitals management is key for sustainable growth.
  • Hospital Resources Administration – This approach provides insight into the core operations and hospital related activities as defined by an efficient and effective resource allocation process. The operational focus is centered around the following areas: finance, technology, staff engagement, compliance and governance.
  • Hospital Profile – This dimension relates to the operational profile of the hospitals involved in the benchmarking projects. The aspects concerned with this dimension are: hospital demographics, hospital profile and social responsibility.
