In this first-of-its-kind effort to encourage transparency and facilitate best practice sharing, hospitals using this new tool can voluntarily allow other hospitals to see the name of their institution in the benchmarking results. Those hospitals that choose to disclose their facility can see other hospitals who also granted permission to reveal their names in the results. Hospitals that choose to remain anonymous cannot view any other specific hospital names in the benchmarking results, even those who have chosen to be disclosed.
