Data helps children’s hospitals improve clinical outcomes and find operational efficiencies. Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) aggregates data from children's hospitals and health systems so leaders can identify opportunities for improvement and celebration.
From operating margins to staff turnover to case mix index, our data programs allow hospitals to benchmark hundreds of clinical and operational metrics against peers while monitoring their own performance.
Data specifically for children’s hospitals
When it comes to using comparative data to identify improvement opportunities, it’s important to focus on hospitals and patient populations that mirror your own. That’s why we created a suite of pediatric-specific data and benchmarking solutions with children’s hospitals’ needs in mind.
Alongside our member hospitals and using more than 2,500 pediatric-specific data points, we've:
- Increased early recognition of sepsis by 30%.
- Identified more than 2,000 early warning signs of potential harm.
- Published more than 1,000 peer-reviewed articles referencing CHA-supported data sources.
- Identified more predictive analytics and equitable care opportunities by merging the Child Opportunity Index with the PHIS® database.
- Uncovered the highest areas of waste and low-value care within children's hospitals.
- Captured the progress of vaccinating U.S. children by sharing data with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
