Benchmarking-threshold target rates for MRN errors

Hello,
Would anyone be willing to share what their institution's threshold target rate is for MRN errors for point of care testing. Our current rate is 0.01%, but we don't have any historical data as to where this number came from. Does anyone else track this as a quality metric?
Thanks!

At our largest hospital, 1100 inpatient beds/4,300 glucose operators/50,000 glucose tests per month, we saw an average of 102 per month through this last fiscal year (July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020). Of those we had an average of 18% not corrected each month. The size of this one hospital does offer unique challenges for me to communicate, isolate, and correct these types of errors. I am hopeful that once we can focus on issues other than COVID-19, that I will be able to spend time with our clinical leadership addressing these patient ID errors.
Side note: we also had a significant LIS build/go live and brought a new hospital onboard in this last FY. We never have a lack of active projects and new builds in our system.
