Healthcare quality can be measured using various tools and methods:
- Clinical Indicators: These are specific measures that provide insights into the quality of care provided. Examples include the rate of surgical complications or the percentage of patients receiving appropriate preventive services. - Patient Surveys: Collecting feedback from patients about their experiences and satisfaction with healthcare services. - Health Outcomes: Monitoring changes in health status as a result of healthcare interventions, such as reduction in mortality rates or improvement in quality of life. - Process Measures: Evaluating the methods and procedures used in delivering healthcare, such as adherence to clinical guidelines.
