Live benchmarking winners for Q2
Congratulations to the second quarter winners in athenahealth's Live Benchmarking Program! Unless you've been hibernating for a while, you know that Live Benchmarks provide a quick pulse check of your practice's performance across four "best practice" metrics, and then compares your practice with other athenahealth practices in your state, region, specialty, and group size (provided there are at least 5 practices to be compared). You can see your overall rank in each category over a 7-day average for a real-time view, and a 91-day average for a quarterly view when you log into athenaNet.
For a quick refresher on how Live Benchmarking winners are scored, see last month's Pulse article. Haven't made the winners' circle yet? You have a chance every quarter to win. At the end of each quarter, we award prizes to the gold, silver and bronze winners in each region. The gold winner receives a catered lunch for the practice with a special athenahealth guest. We also award one raffle ticket to each regional bronze winner, two raffle tickets to each silver winner and three raffles tickets to each gold winner. Each year, we hold a drawing at the User's Conference for an annual grand prize - a trip for four!
Here are the winners by region and specialty from the second quarter of 2006 (Apr-Jun). Congratulations all!
