A rising tide floats all boats

Within healthcare, falling behind the curve means people can be harmed. As every facility strives to be the best at what they do, knowing your position in the race is critical. This is why the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Foundation (DFWHC Foundation) data is so important. Whether comparing market share or patient safety, you have to know how well your peer group is doing compared to your own facility. Knowing where to improve and the path to take is crucial.

The DFWHC Foundation’s MyIQ business intelligence tools are a great source of regional data to use as a baseline in your facility analysis. In addition, we have added more state and local statistics for data comparison. By offering Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) patient safety and quality algorithm, New York University Edit Distance (NYU ED) utilization algorithm and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services readmission measures, we try to give users the necessary metrics necessary and comparative data to help their healthcare organization flourish.
