What is Quality?
The Institute of Medicine defines Quality as “the extent to which health services provided to individuals and patient populations improve desired health outcomes. Quality care is safe, effective, patient centered, efficient and equitable. Quality Health Care is based on the strongest clinical evidence, provided in a technically and culturally competent manner, with clinicians using effective communication skills and engaging patients in shared decision making.”
