Abstract
Describes the way benchmarking data are used in a district general hospital to influence clinical practice. Wirral Hospital Trust is a site for the Electronic Patient Record Project; as such there is a large amount of patient‐based data available for research and internal benchmarking. Includes working examples of internal benchmarking which have been used by both clinicians and hospital management to improve hospital effectiveness. Discusses the ways in which this information is being used to develop initiatives such as clinical pathway development.
