Market Assessment and Benchmarking Project for the City and County of San Francisco Department of Public Health
December 2007
San Francisco Department of Public Health
The Office of the Controller of the City and County of San Francisco, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health commissioned The Lewin Group to conduct a local market assessment and benchmarking analysis. The market assessment analyzes the current health care environment in the city, makes projections of demand for healthcare services, and examines the role of the Department of Public Health, in providing direct healthcare to San Franciscans. The benchmarking analysis compares San Francisco General Hospital with comparable Bay Area, California and national public healthcare delivery systems across measures designed to assess efficiency and effectiveness. The benchmarking analysis also identifies best practices contributing to the success of the benchmark safety net systems.
