What's involved in becoming a participant?
Once you've made the decision to incorporate benchmarking and best practices into your strategic planning, your only obligation is to provide and share financial and resource information on a regular basis. All AHP Performance Benchmarking participants contribute to the benchmarking data by completing an annual survey. The benchmarking data collection process is conducted online over a period of two months. A Help Desk will be available to answer participants’ data collection and reporting questions.
The long-term benefits of participation...
An immediate benefit for participants is the ability to generate benchmarking and best practice information that can be used in the short term to improve philanthropic program and operations performance. As the AHP Performance Benchmarking Service develops and grows, AHP will be managing and compiling the expanding data base. Long term, your participation will significantly impact health care's philanthropic efforts by enabling health care organizations, large or small, to access an industry-wide set of standards and philanthropy information that will result in improved services to more people.
Participation Rates...
The AHP Performance Benchmarking Service is designed to collect data from individual health care organizations. However, health care systems may also enter one set of data for the entire system although it is highly recommended that the system include data from its organizations on an individual basis. Health care systems may choose to enter data from all organizations within their system or from a select few.
- One time set up fee: $4,000
- Yearly subscription rate*: $1,000 per organization entering unique data
*Your subscription includes three users per organization.
Example: Computing the rate for a health care system
ABC Health System includes four health care organizations. The system decides to enter data for all four organizations and also one set of data for the entire system. In its first year, ABC Health System would pay the one time set up fee of $4,000 and a subscription rate of $5,000 ($1,000 for the system data and $1,000 for each organization’s data). In year two, ABC Health System would pay $5,000 ($1,000 for the system data and $1,000 for each organization’s data).
Example: Computing the rate for a single health care organization
In its first year, XYZ Organization pays the one time set up fee of $4,000 and the subscription rate of $1,000. In year two, XYZ Organization pays $1,000.
Note: The annual subscription fee applies to consecutive years. If an organization decides not to renew in any one given year, then it must re-join the service and pay the set up fee.
