Benchmarking is a current term used to describe a process that has always been applied but perhaps not in the same way as it is today. That process involves comparing business statistics to historical data or to the same type of data gathered across a wider spectrum.

This is only one statistic, or metric, that can be used to evaluate a practice’s performance.
