Which data outputs from InterRAI LTCF are used for benchmarking?

• A. Individual physician notes only
• B. Composite indicators and scores
• C. Marketing reports
• D. Public health policy memos

Answer: (B)

Data outputs used for benchmarking are standardized composite indicators and scores derived from InterRAI LTCF assessments. These composite metrics combine multiple domains of resident status and care quality into a single, comparable measure, often adjusted for case mix, so facilities or regions can be fairly compared over time. Individual physician notes are clinical narratives that aren’t standardized for cross-facility comparison, so they’re not used for benchmarking. Marketing reports and public health policy memos are external communications; they may reference data but they aren’t the benchmarking outputs produced by the InterRAI LTCF system.
