Download or read book An Introduction to Quality Assurance in Health Care written by Avedis Donabedian and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-12-26 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avedis Donabedian's name is synonymous with quality of medical care. He unraveled the mystery behind the concept by defining it in clear operational terms and provided detailed blueprints for both its measurement(known as quality assessment) and its improvement(known as quality assurance). Many before him claimed that quality couldn't be defined in concrete objective terms. He demonstrated that quality is an attribte of a system which he called structure, a set of organized activities whihc he called process, and an outcome which results from both. In this book Donabedian tells the full story of quality assessment and assurance in simple, clear terms. He defines the meaning of quality, explicates its components, and provides clear and systematic guides to its assessment and enhancement. His style is lucid, succinct, systematic and yet personal, almost conversational.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assess the quality of medical care one must first unravel a mystery: the meaning of quality itself. Perhaps it is useful to begin with the obvious by saying that quality is a property that medical care can have in varying degrees. It follows that an assessment of quality is a judgment whether a specified instance of medical care has this property, and, if so, to what extent. What is by no means clear is whether quality is a single attribute, a class of functionally related attributes, or a heterogeneous assortment gathered into a bundle by established usage, administrative fiat, or personal preference. The definition and specification of attributes is, only part of the problem. The phenomena or objects to which these attributes pertain are also poorly defined. Given these ambiguities, it is no wonder that the quality of medical care has been perceived and defined in so many different ways. But these many variants are not a random assortment. There is an underlying conceptual structure that seems to embrace them all, revealing the sources of their similarities and the reasons for their differences.

This book was released on 1999-02-23 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Roundtable on Health Care Quality was established in 1995 by the Institute of Medicine. The Roundtable consists of experts formally appointed through procedures of the National Research Council (NRC) who represent both public and private-sector perspectives and appropriate areas of substantive expertise (not organizations). From the public sector, heads of appropriate Federal agencies serve. It offers a unique, nonadversarial environment to explore ongoing rapid changes in the medical marketplace and the implications of these changes for the quality of health and health care in this nation. The Roundtable has a liaison panel focused on quality of care in managed care organizations. The Roundtable convenes nationally prominent representatives of the private and public sector (regional, state and federal), academia, patients, and the health media to analyze unfolding issues concerning quality, to hold workshops and commission papers on significant topics, and when appropriate, to produce periodic statements for the nation on quality of care matters. By providing a structured opportunity for regular communication and interaction, the Roundtable fosters candid discussion among individuals who represent various sides of a given issue.
