Lefkovitz, Ph.D., General Manager of Benchmarking, Netsmart and Paul M. Duck, Vice President of Business Development, Netsmart. The presentation agenda is as follows:

  • Case Study Examples: Real-world provider organization executives that have improved outcomes as a result of benchmarking and analytics

"In today's health and human service market, consumers have more choices and payers are looking for value – for provider organizations, this means performance matters in ways that it hasn't in the past," said Monica E. Oss, OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer. "This is why we are so excited to host a web briefing on the importance of performance and benchmarking with Netsmart. To gain competitive advantage and maintain market share, executives of provider organizations need to not only be able to report their own metrics, but also be able to compare their performance with other organizations. By providing actual national benchmarking data during the web briefing, our team can help executives to put their own organizational performance into context."
