FEATURED POST: BERENSON, PRONOVOST & KRUMHOLZ ON RETHINKING QUALITY
- Seven Policy Recommendations for Healthcare's New Era
- 7. Task a single entity with defining standards for measuring and reporting quality and cost data.
- 6. Invest in the basic science of measurement development and applications.
- 5. Use measurement to promote the concept of the rapid-learning health care system.
- 4. Measure patient experience with care and patient-reported outcomes as ends in themselves.
- 3. Measure quality at the level of the organization, rather than the clinician.
- 2. Use quality measures strategically, adopting other quality improvement approaches where measures fall short.
- 1. Decisively move from measuring processes to outcomes.
