HDC is an online benchmarking system for small hospitals.
It was developed as a result of small rural hospitals wanting to compare themselves with regional peers rather than a large national data set. HDC includes over 100 reports covering financial, operational and productivity benchmarks and allows you to compare with regional hospitals or larger, custom peer groups.

Keeping the doors open on a small rural hospital is becoming more difficult. We have to continually analyze our operations to ensure we are as efficient as possible. Health Data Check is a simple and efficient tool that helps us identify best practices among our peer group partners and monitor our success.
