The Scottsdale Institute, a not-for-profit dedicated to healthcare information management and process improvement, has announced a web-based tool to allow healthcare organizations to normalize their IT costs against anonymous peers. After submitting data on key IT cost and staff metrics, organizations will receive comparison reports and a link to a virtual community to collaborate on IT costs. Each organization is assigned an identification number so data will be kept anonymous. To participate, contact Ricki Levitan at rlevitan@scottsdaleinstitute.org.
