Although no single definition of high-quality health care has been agreed upon, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) provided a framework for considering the quality of care, based on six domains: (1) effective, (2) efficient, (3) equitable, (4) patient-centred, (5) safe, and (6) timely. Ongoing congressional interest in enhancing the quality of health care is likely given the federal role in the delivery and financing of health care through, for example, the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This book begins with a discussion of the role of quality measurement in policies to enhance provider accountability and presents selected policies addressing quality measurement in this context. It then provides an overview of payment incentives and public reporting of performance data to improve quality, along with selected policy examples for each approach.--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 410 0$aHealth care issues, costs, and access. 606 $aMedical care$zUnited States$xQuality control 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aMedical care$xQuality control. 676 $a362.1 702 $aDean$b Miranda 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150310603321 996 $aHealth care quality$92883477 997 $aUNINA
