EVENTS
Powdermet 2016
On Tuesday, June 7, CFO Jane Higgins attended Powdermet 2016, the Metal Powder Industries Federation annual meeting in Boston. She provided a demo of MPIF’s new benchmarking platform, the Powder Metallurgy Parts Association (PMPA) Statistics & Benchmarking Program, to its PMPA members. The membership was extremely engaged and, at this time, approximately half of the membership has entered data for 2014 and 2015. Data collection is still underway and MPIF is hopeful it will achieve its goal of 100% participation.

CLIENT NEWS
The Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) recently moved its long-running salary and benefits survey to Dynamic Benchmarking. This is the first electronic survey for the association which is excited to deliver faster, more accurate data input and analysis as well as on-demand, customizable reporting to its members.
We’re pleased to announce the launch of our second benchmarking study with the Ambulatory Surgery Centers Association (ASCA). The Quarterly Clinical and Operational Survey collects clinical and operating data to assess volumes, procedures, complications and other critical and operating metrics using a unique “interval” data collection and reporting features for automated, controlled opening and closing of data collection as well for availability of comparisons and reporting. The ASCA Salary and Benefits Survey continues to receive positive feedback from members.
The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) recently launched its Interventional Radiology Program Directory. This new online platform collects and compiles procedural and demographic information on interventional radiology (IR) programs from across the US and Canada in a searchable database used by medical students and professionals to compare the performance and offerings of various IR programs.
The American Staffing Association launched its industry compensation and benefits study in June using the interactive and user friendly Dynamic Benchmarking platform.
Lastly in client news this month, Dynamic Benchmarking is pleased to welcome new client, Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI). The world’s largest and most reliable resource for official Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs) and tourism boards, has contracted Dynamic Benchmarking to relaunch its Compensation and Benefits Survey as a more dynamic and up-to-date system offering customizable reporting to its members.
