 Health Care Policies: Week 6

Standard of Care: Healthcare Quality.

Objective:

Health care is like any other service; some providers are better than others. Quality of care is of critical interest to patients; their health, even their lives, can be at stake. They need and deserve to know. Doctors want to know too.

Measuring health care quality is complex. As a medical discipline, it is still in the pioneering phase. Some professional health groups are already doing it.

Organizations of insurers and health care providers have joined forces to create standards and measures for health care quality. Organizations involved include:

AQA (formerly the Ambulatory Quality Care Alliance), which has steering committees focused on performance measurement, data aggregation and reporting.

Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA), a reporting initiative providing information on the quality of care in hospitals.

Quality Alliance Steering Committee, a new national committee that combines the efforts of AQA and HQA to expand on them
