The essential guide to health care quality
- Share to:
Every American has his or her own definition of high- quality health care. For some people, that definition revolves around whether they can go to the doctor or hospital of their choice. For others, it means access to specific types of treatment. In recent years, there has been a great deal of attention paid to defining health care quality so that we, as a nation, can work together to improve care.
In 2001, the highly regarded Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences issued a landmark report—Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century—that called on the nation to aggressively address the dramatic deficiencies in the quality of health care delivered in the U.S. The IOM defined quality health care as “safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable.”[1]
