Defining Quality: Aiming for a Better Health Care System

[@maryanneliz4008]

Safe, Effective, Patient centered, Timely, Efficient and Equitable. Very clearly defined.

[@isatousarr7044]

Defining quality in the context of a better healthcare system involves prioritizing care that is effective, equitable, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and safe. A high-quality healthcare system should consistently deliver evidence-based treatments that improve patient outcomes while respecting individual preferences and values. Equity must be at the core, ensuring that care is accessible and fair across all demographics, regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or geographic location. Achieving this vision requires a shift from reactive, illness-focused models to proactive, preventive approaches that address the root causes of poor health. Emphasizing continuous improvement, leveraging technology, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders can help create a healthcare system that not only meets current needs but also adapts to future challenges. Ultimately, quality in healthcare is about creating a system that is as compassionate as it is effective, aiming to improve both individual lives and population health.

It would be great to see people living healthier lifestyles, exercise, working out, etc.

I use this video as a quick orientation for quality. It does a great job getting straight to the heart of the work. Nice production!

Información importante para los involucrados en la gestión de la calidad en salud. Las dimensiones que propone el IOM y que fueron adoptados por el IHI son: SEGURIDAD, EFECTIVIDAD, ATENCION CENTRADA EN EL PACIENTE, ATENCION OPORTUNA, EFICIENCIA y EQUIDAD.

A good perspective on quality in health care

[@AnthonyDeVita-j4u]

It seems we are using a multitude of studies, charts, graphs and the fallacy of developing the perfect evidence based system to keep inequity in place as long as we possibly can.

[@eugenenorton6458]

I think this is missing the very important measure of proactiveness instead of reactiveness. Resolving issues before they even happen is the best type of healthcare, should be part of the measurement system, as overall numbers will drop, and that's good for everyone. If that cleared 30% of cases before they even happen, wouldn't that be a good thing. Even if it was 1%. But if it's not measured, it won't improve.

[@devster117]

The 6 dimensions do encompass proactiveness and preventative care. This would fall under the category of efficiency (it's also much cheaper to prevent diseases and illnesses than to only engage reactively to treat them once the patient gets them) and under patient-centered care, where a patient is able to receive care whenever they need it, continuously, and not just face to face visits. Read the Quality Chasm report and it will explain it all.

Amazing orator

[@diufygisudfy]

"The third dimension is patient centeredness, and this is a pretty subversive goal. It means people should be in control of their own care." :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[@orange2896]

Well explained. Unfortunately, in the US we are failing at all of them.

[@amerfalah3387]

[@sircobi]

brilliant

[@Swedchef3]

nyantastic!

[@twowingsstudio]

The USA does not have a health care system. It has a health insurance industry. To say that the health insurance industry is a health care system is akin to saying that your auto insurance is your car care system.

[@drfrankthomas2187]

quality has not been defined here. quality is not the absense of harm but seeking the good which must be volitional ie free. dr.s must set aside their rational self interest,which is used to control them and replace it with virtue.
