My practice is extremely keen to see how we are doing compared to other practices. Finding out that we are doing worse than the median would strongly motivate us to do better. Finding out that we are doing better than the median would be a very powerful marketing tool for our practice. We could say in our practice brochure things like (depending on what was found in the comparison between us and other practices): "Patients in our practice have lower cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure, fewer heart attacks and strokes, less cancer and are healthier overall than patients in most other practices in the area."
