What is Quality?
•We define quality as:– “Skilled Compassionate Care”
•We look at quality in three basic ways– Process-based measures: these
represent the actions of providers– Outcome-based measures: these
represent the results of care processes– Best practices: these explain and define
the nuances of best possible care
