National Practice Benchmark Survey

Oncology Metrics is pleased to invite you to participate in the National Practice Benchmark Survey for calendar year 2008. Results from the National Practice Benchmark will provide important and meaningful data for managing your oncology practice in today’s challenging practice environment. Benchmarking is widely recognized as the best, most efficient way to both find opportunities to improve your practice and then to monitor progress once corrective action is taken.

The National Practice Benchmark Survey is conducted by Oncology Metrics, a team of professionals who understand the oncology market and have many years of oncology practice, survey, and benchmarking experience.

All practices with complete responses will receive an electronic version of the survey report. To thank you for your time, the first 25 participants to complete all applicable questions also will receive a $25 American Express gift card; the next 100 participants will receive a $10 gift card. All complete surveys also will qualify for a drawing for an Apple iTouch.

Individuals and practices may receive more than one invitation to participate in this survey: please submit only one survey per practice.

Data Confidentiality
All of the individual data provided in the survey is absolutely confidential and will never be disclosed. Access to the data file that Oncology Metrics creates from this survey will never be made available to any party. Oncology Metrics will create analytical reports including aggregated data from this survey, but will always publish in a manner that completely obscures the source of the data so that no reader can make any supported inference of data to any individual practice.

Thank you for your participation in this important study of our industry. We look forward to providing you with practical information to build your practice.
