Quality Measures

Healthcare quality standards are critical and provide a baseline against which measurement and evaluation are assessed. There are common performance measurement selection criteria for determining the standards. In addition, it is essential that organizations track their trends in quality improvement measurements in order to continue the improvement process. For this discussion, consider the following:

• Identify, compare, and contrast 2–3 external organizations that analyze quality improvement.
• Offer a brief description of the unit or organization where you work or have worked in the past.
• Identify and describe one healthcare quality standard that is applicable to your area.
• How does the performance of your unit or organization measure against local, regional, or national standards?
• What process is in place to monitor your unit or organization's progress, and is this information disseminated to the staff? If so, how?
• Identify strategies that could maintain or improve your unit's current quality performance.
