Quality healthcare

Quality healthcare is more than just a popular phrase. Nowadays value-based care moving forward, the focus of inpatient care is shifting to quality and away from quantity. According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences, which defined quality health care as “safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable.” In addition, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) defines quality health care “as doing the right thing for the right patient, at the right time, in the right way to achieve the best possible results.”

As per my opinion Quality healthcare mean the use of evidence-based practice and increase patient satisfaction. (Steiner, 2017)

Value in health care is the measured improvement in a person’s health outcomes for the cost of achieving that improvement. Often, patients cannot get reliable information on the important outcomes and overall costs of their treatment options. With better information on value — outcomes, satisfaction, and costs — patients could make more confident decisions about getting the care they need while spending no more than necessary.
