Peer benchmarking in Jiro allows clinicians to measure how they are performing similarly to anonymized peers.
It is designed to surface simple, actionable benchmarks inside the Practice Pod so clinicians can spot opportunities to improve care and efficiency.
At A Glance
- Peer benchmarking compares you to a peer cohort
- Individual benchmarks compare you to your personal history and goals
- We compare you to clinicians based on your clinical comparability and practice setting
- Individual benchmarks are aggregated and de-identified for peer benchmarking
1. Metric-Based Benchmarking
For any given Metric, Jiro identifies a peer group of similar clinicians and practices. We calculate that same Metric for every clinician and practice in the group over the same time frame, computing summary values across your peers.
The result shows your value side-by-side with benchmarks in Jiro, showing where you stand relative to those around you.
2. Benchmarking Types
| Benchmark | Type | What it Explains |
|---|---|---|
| Peer Average | Peer, Central Tendency | Total or per clinician average in your peer group. |
| Peer Median | Peer, Central Tendency | The "middle" clinician in your peer group. |
| Percentile Rank | Peer, Distribution | Where you land as a percentage of your peers. (Ex. 85th percentile is higher than 85% of your peer group.) |
| Top Band | Peer, Distribution | Top 15% of your peer group, identifies remarkable performance. |
| Bottom Band | Peer, Distribution | Bottom 15% of your peer group, signifies a risk signal or opportunity. |
| Practice Pattern | Peer, Behavioral | Highlights practice patterns such as treatments, prescriptions, or procedures against your peer group. |
| Temporal | Individual, Time | Benchmarks you against your own historical performance to highlight improvement or regression. |
| Target | Individual, Goal | Compares your benchmarks to explicit guideline thresholds or set organizational goals. |
3. How Do We Decide Who To Compare You To?
Clinical Comparability
- Your specialty, derived from claims data and any available configuration or profile data
- Your care setting
Your Practice Location and Setting
- Practice type (such as Independent Clinic vs. Health-System) to pair similar organizations
- Practice size
- Comparisons may be local, by state, national, and/or global if applicable
4. Privacy & Anonymity
Individual clinician's data is not exposed to others, this information is aggregated and anonymized at the cohort level. It is possible that a high-performing clinician's pattern may be used anonymously as a "global leader" benchmark.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Do my peers see my individual data?
No. Individual clinician data is not shared with other clinicians. Peer comparisons us aggregated, anonymized data performance data and patterns.
What's the difference between peer benchmarks and individual benchmarks?
Peer benchmarks are designed to compare you to a peer cohort while Individual benchmarks focus on your personal goals or trends over time.
Can benchmarks be tailored to my institution or region?
Yes. Support for regional and institution-based views has been added to reflect the reality of your local environment.
Will I see how I am doing over time or just vs. my peers?
Jiro surfaces your current performance compared to peers and to your own history, allowing you to track time trends.
