Imagine setting a goal, working for months to hit it, and when you finally do . . . you find out the target was wrong. That operating margin you hit? It used to mean top performance. Now it's below average. The financial expectations have completely changed without you knowing it. That disconnect is costing you time, credibility, and results.
It's time for something better.

The Benchmarking Data Problem
Annual medians are typically outdated before you even see them. Data can be over a year old by publication, and organizations often wait another year for new releases. In an industry where margins shift quarterly and reimbursement models evolve monthly, you're navigating today's challenges with yesterday's intelligence.
Platforms that release monthly financial data typically compile hospitals using internal reporting methodologies. These datasets rely on cost allocations that vary dramatically between facilities, making profitability comparisons less meaningful.
Medicare cost reports are prepared for regulatory compliance, not accurate financial performance analysis. It's like comparing tax returns to audited financials, the purpose determines the accuracy.
Most benchmarking datasets only include medians and can't be adjusted to match your exact scenario. Without the ability to create truly comparable peer groups, the insights may be useless.
OUR BENCHMARKING SOLUTION
DROPPING SEPTEMBER 2025
Current Data You Can Actually Use Our benchmarking platform updates quarterly (every February, June, September, and December) shortly after public filings are released. No more making strategic decisions with old data. You'll have access to financial performance through the most recent quarter, giving you the current intelligence needed for informed decision-making.
Standardized, Comparable Financial Data We source data exclusively from bond filings, which include quarterly financial statements and annual audited financials. Our standardization process eliminates the apples-to-oranges problem that plagues other platforms.
Audited Financial Statements, Not Regulatory Reports By using bond filings rather than Medicare cost reports, we provide benchmarking based on audited financial statements and quarterly filings prepared for investor transparency. This gives you the same quality financial data that bond investors use to make investment decisions.
Customizable Peer Groups That Match Your Reality Our platform separates health systems from stand-alone hospitals and offers filtering capabilities that let you create peer groups that actually match your operational scenario. No more comparing your organization to facilities that operate in completely different environments.
Historical Context That Matters Track annual trends back to 2021 and quarterly performance over the past six quarters. Understand not just where you stand today, but how the landscape has shifted and where performance is heading.
