KPIs and Reporting

A Daniels service partnership runs on aligned goals and accountable performance, backed by benchmarking that improves year after year.

Performance KPIs and Transparent Reporting

A service partnership is built on aligned goals and accountability to performance. Daniels works with hospitals to set clinically relevant KPIs, back them with clear service-level commitments and shared savings initiatives, then report progress with transparency year after year.

 

Leadership visibility and performance governance

We make KPIs real by embedding them into hospital leadership oversight. Daniels provides monthly performance visibility so teams can see what is tracking to plan and what is trending outside acceptable parameters, by waste stream, location, and service line. This keeps small issues from becoming compliance events, safety risks, or budget surprises.

Quarterly, a dedicated account manager facilitates Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) to align stakeholders, review progress against agreed KPIs, and use waste volume, container turn and audit data to identify performance enhancements. These reviews create shared accountability and clear ownership of results across the full life cycle of the contract.

Data that Drives Improvement

At Daniels, data is the center of continuous improvement. Through our proprietary TRACE technology, Power BI capabilities, and regularly scheduled EBRs, we turn waste metrics into meaningful action, helping hospitals visualize performance, benchmark results, and improve outcomes across every department.

Hospitals are complex. Waste is complex. Together, they demand more than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Data insights we provide that drive corrective action and multi-touchpoint improvement across a hospital’s waste program include:


Metrics that Matter

  • Container weights and turns by type and location
  • Container fill efficiency and utilization rate
  • Service reliability and net promoter scores
  • Waste stream breakdown by total volume
  • Environmental and cost impact summaries
  • Department-level benchmarking against national best practice

How We Make Data Actionable

Our KPI and reporting framework gives hospitals visibility into waste, cost, and compliance performance in ways that drive measurable change.

  • TRACE Technology

    TRACE captures container-level data for every waste stream, tracking weights, turns, and utilization by department. By connecting waste generation to patient activity, hospitals can allocate costs accurately and uncover hidden inefficiencies.

  • Power BI Integration

    Daniels integrates Power BI dashboards for clear, interactive waste performance reporting. Leadership teams can quickly view trends by facility or department, gaining real-time visibility that supports data-driven decisions and cost-effective improvements.

  • Executive Business Reviews (EBRs)

    Our account managers partner with hospital leadership for reviews that turn insights into action. Each EBR evaluates current KPIs, identifies cost or segregation gaps, and recommends corrective measures to achieve compliance and sustainability goals.

     

Practice Greenhealth Benchmarking

We measure waste performance against both Daniels’ internal best-practice standards and national benchmarks. With Daniels’ proprietary TRACE container tracking technology, you can benchmark performance against peer hospitals by waste stream, hazardous waste percentage, container exchange and fill trends, and cost per patient bed.

These insights highlight where to course-correct, reduce waste, and replicate what top-performing departments are doing across the system.

Transparency: The Bedrock of Partnership

Our mantra is to make healthcare safer by serving hospitals and supporting the conditions for quality patient care. That means doing more than delivering a service. It means equipping hospital teams with the expertise and confidence to drive change from within. We do not take a “give a man a fish” approach that creates reliance on outside experts. We take a transparent, capability-building approach that helps hospitals improve for the long term.

That commitment shows up in how we share data. We provide visibility that enables open conversations, actionable decisions, and course-correction on both sides of the partnership. From Power BI modeling and manifests to cost breakdowns, on-time performance, system-level NPS, and key waste metrics, the customer experience is always given clear accountability and shared performance results.

Data That Drives Change

When hospitals see their waste, they can finally control it. Partner with Daniels for reporting and KPI management that delivers clarity, accountability, and measurable improvement in safety, sustainability, and cost performance.
