The ACR’s Benchmark Tool Helps Rheumatologists Gauge Performance

The ACR Benchmark Tool is an important and necessary vehicle for gathering information to assist the ACR in identifying workforce trends and allow you to benchmark your performance against your colleagues’ performance. The survey will take approximately 15–20 minutes, and upon completion, you will be provided a report illustrating how your responses compare with the averages of other ACR members nationally and within your local CMS region.

Complete the 2014 ACR Benchmark Tool by Dec. 15, and you could win free registration to the 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting in San Francisco. To access the tool, log in to the ACR website using your ACR ID number, and visit your ACR My Profile page.

This comprehensive study is being conducted to determine benchmarks for rheumatology in an era of increased numbers of uninsured and underinsured patients in the general population, increased chronic and musculoskeletal diseases, and an expanding population of aging citizens.
