The Web-based tool includes a dashboard and a reporting application where hospitals create self-defined peer groups for comparison and benchmarking. The growth of the user driven QHi program has exceeded expectations and is now being used by more than300 hospitals in 16 states, including100 hospitals in Kansas. In May of 2013, the QHi site opened to include Rural Health Clinics. For more information, contact
