DALLAS and FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncology Metrics, a
business that develops products and services to help accelerate advancements
in the treatment of cancer, today announced the launch of the first annual
National Practice Benchmark, an initiative to assist community oncology
practices understand critical operating measures.

This benchmark initiative will be open to all community-based oncology
practices nationally. Practices of all size are invited to participate. The
survey will be sent to administrators and physicians via e-mail and the data
collected using an online survey instrument, a quick and efficient method for
capturing the data. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

The first 200 respondents will be eligible for gift cards ranging from
$25.00 to $50.00 and all respondents who complete the survey will be placed in
a drawing for a new iPhone from Apple. In addition, respondents will receive
an electronic copy of the survey results. The survey results will also be
submitted for publication in a national oncology business journal.

Benchmarking is widely recognized as the best and most efficient way to
find opportunities to improve your practice and monitor progress after
corrective action is taken. Benchmarks have been used to reduce costs and
improve revenue, and discover new product and service lines that can be used
to make your practice more effective and efficient. Better performing
practices continuously benchmark internally and externally. Tom Barr, COO of
Oncology Metrics commented, "If you don't measure, you are just guessing."

Interested practices may contact Oncology Metrics directly to request
participation.
