Abstract
In May 1994 the Physiotherapy Department at John Hunter Hospital received a Commonwealth Best Practice in the Health Sector grant to design a critical pathway for the treatment of stroke.The implementation of the pathway at John Hunter Hospital and the introduction of the methodology to secondary sites (The Alfred Healthcare Group, Melbourne, and Royal Hobart & Repatriation General Hospitals, Hobart) resulted in the development of a Benchmarking Consortium.This paper will discuss the importance of benchmarking in understanding clinical processes, and the methodology employed to ensure that meaningful benchmarks wereachieved.https://doi.org/10.1071/AH970122
