Quality:

 

  • How does the quality of healthcare in the United States compare to the
    quality of care in other industrialized nations?
  • How can an acceptable quality of health care be assured for all?
  • Will providing data in areas such as patient outcomes, compliance with
    national standards for preventive and chronic care, and comparative costs to the
    public be an acceptable measure of healthcare delivery outcomes?
  • Though physicians believed that only physicians could and should judge the
    quality of hospital medical care, they found participation in such hospital peer
    review activities a most disagreeable obligation.  What were the problems with
    the process?
  • Managed care organization credentialing by the National Committee on Quality
    Assurance rapidly evolved as a standard of quality in the industry.  Discuss the
    pros and cons on the value of credentialing by an independent organization to a
    managed care organization and to consumers.

    providers and patients? What affect does this have on the quality of care?
