CONSUMERS RARELY THINK ABOUT QUALITY AND MEDICAL OUTCOMES

Definition…Healthcare Quality 

•Quality health care means doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right person—and having the best possible results. 

•Quality measures are tools that help us measure or quantify healthcare processes, outcomes, patient perceptions, and organizational structure and/or systems that are associated with the ability to provide high-quality health care and/or that relate to one or more quality goals for health care.

•Infection rates, falls, medication errors, bed ulcers, readmission rates, patient safety
