Ans) Quality health care is a national issue. It’s a local issue. It’s everyone’s issue. Everyone who gives, gets or pays for care should be concerned with improving quality.
- There are three fundamentals to improving quality: performance
measurement, quality improvement and consumer engagement.
1. We must measure and report information about the performance of
health care providers to everyone who gives care, gets care and
pays for care.
2. We must help doctors’ offices and hospitals improve their
quality.
3. We must encourage people to act more like “consumers” when it
comes to health care so we can create demand for high-quality care.
In the same way that consumers buying a new car compare prices and
features to find the best value car, and then make their purchase
from a place that provides good customer service, they must take
similar action with health care.
4. We must design a system in which patients work in partnership
with their doctors and other
providers to manage their own health care.
As a consumer advocate, you can lend support for national and state
policies that:
• Encourage health care performance measurement and public
reporting, and use of these reports by consumers. Measuring
performance shows doctors and hospitals if and when they are
providing the right care to the right patients. Additionally, by
publicly reporting the information, patients can make
decisions about which doctor and hospital to see based on their
track record of providing the right care at the right time for the
right reason.
• Promote the practice of evidence-based medicine and preventive
care. When doctors are making treatment decisions based on existing
research and data, they are more likely to give the right care to
the right patient – and the likelihood of underuse, overuse and
misuse decreases.
