Program encourages sharing of hospital data

By Jan Thomas A new program is encouraging hospitals to share data and performance results in order to improve their business management. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) provided new details about its peer-to-peer business group pilot program during the March AAHA Yearly Conference in Denver, Colo. The conference session, titled Do You Run Your Business as Well as You Practice Medicine?, provided information about the new program, which will encourage non-competing hospitals to share data among themselves.
