Benchmarks

Introduction

Benchmarks are the baseline to compare the measures you submitted and help determine how many points each measure can earn based on their performance rate.

Benchmarks are specific to each data collection type even if the measure is the same. To use the benchmark data set:

  • Select the benchmark for the measure and collection type you’re reporting.
  • Identify the benchmark decile that maps to your estimated performance in that measure.
  • See the range of points available for that decile. For example, measures with a performance rate in Decile 6 can earn 6 – 6.9 points.
