Committee on Redesigning Health Insurance Performance Measures, Payment, a | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Performance Measurement is the first in a new series of an ongoing effort by
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to improve health care quality. Performance
Measurement offers a comprehensive review of available measures and
introduces a new framework to examine these measures against the six
aims of the health care system: health care should be safe, effective,
patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. This new book also
addresses the gaps in performance measurement and introduces the need
for measures that are longitudinal, comprehensive, population-based, and
patient-centered. This book is directed toward all concerned with improving
the quality and performance of the nation's health care system in its
multiple dimensions and in both the public and private sectors.Table of Contents
