National Benchmarking Portal

The National Benchmarking Portal (NBP) is a secure website-based application that provides access to compare insights from the cost and activity data from public hospitals across the country.
The NBP improves hospital managers' ability to compare differences in cost, activity and efficiency at similar hospitals using the national weighted activity unit (NWAU).
Using data collected in the National Hospital Cost Data Collection, the NBP allows users to compare cost and activity data at jurisdiction, local hospital network and hospital level, as well as cost at the cost bucket and classification level, simplifying performance benchmarking and highlighting clinical variation.

Years included in the NBP: 2017-18 to 2021-22.
