ANFP Benchmarking Programs

The Skilled Nursing Facility and Acute Care Benchmarking Surveys are now closed. Participants who completed the surveys will continue to have 24/7 access to benchmarking results through the ANFP Member portal.

ANFP launched its first Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Benchmarking Program in March 2017 with more than 700 registered facilities. After closing out its eighth year, the SNF Benchmarking Program had just over 1,200 registered facilities. 

The Acute Care Benchmarking Program was launched in 2020 and was built from the ground up by a five-member advisory panel working in various settings, from a small critical access hospital to a large teaching hospital, as well as representation from a supply chain company. After closing out its fifth year, the AC Benchmarking Program had nearly 200 operators registered to participate in the survey.

Participating in ANFP’s Benchmarking Programs allows you to better understand what makes your facility successful, leading directly to an action plan, improving productivity, and gaining strategic advantage.

As a participant, the information you provide through the process of a survey will be aggregated with all other participants, and reports will be available to you immediately upon submission. The data collected will provide you with key information that will become more valuable over time.

In addition, participants may enjoy 24/7 access to the results. You may download reports based on the entire nation or choose to filter reports based on facility ownership, number of residents, and geographic location, among many other filters.

Confidentiality is key to this initiative. ANFP has partnered with Dynamic Benchmarking to host the program and maintain confidentiality. Individual facility information is viewable only by that facility’s registered participants.

If you are the Foodservice Director of a Skilled Nursing or Acute Care facility, or both – this is for you! Your participation will award you with one (1) general continuing education (CE) hour for each registered survey that is completed between March 1 and April 30, 2024.

ANFP Research Webinars

In 2018, the Nutrition & Foodservice Education Foundation partnered with Technomic, one of the nation’s leading food research firms, and conducted an industry-wide, in-depth study on healthcare foodservice. In this study, Understanding Healthcare Foodservice: Skilled Care, you will discover specifics about the skilled nursing and long-term care segments of the study, learn about changes that have taken place since 2010, current concerns, and new and upcoming trends. The second webinar, Understanding Healthcare Foodservice: Acute Care, reviews specifics about the acute care segment of the 2018 Technomic Study and changes that have taken place since 2010, current concerns, and new and upcoming trends.
