1. A method in a clinical computing environment for measuring performance improvement for a current clinical process within one or more clinical facilities, the method comprising:

  • accessing optimized practice process model data defining one or more critical levers based on an optimized clinical process, the optimized practice process model data further defining benefit metrics for at least one of the one or more critical levers;

    accessing one or more current measures for the current clinical process, each of the one or more current measures corresponding with at least one of the one or more critical levers;

    accessing one or more baseline measures for the current clinical process, each of the one or more baseline measures corresponding with at least one of the one or more critical levers;

    determining a change in at least one of the one or more critical levers by comparing at least one of the one or more current measures against at least one of the one or more baseline measures; and

    determining a performance improvement for the at least one of the one or more critical levers by applying at least a portion of the benefit metrics to the change in the at least one of the one or more critical levers.
