Data has always been a hallmark of the HME News Business Summit. Each year in our Financial Benchmarking presentation, providers see how they stack up against their peers in everything from net revenues to DSO to employee expenses.

They're interesting and noteworthy, but there's no way we can write stories about them all. So in an effort to clean out my inbox, I'm going to share a few of them with you here.
