What does the National Healthcare Agenda Mean to Us? Developed in cooperation with Patricia C. Kienle, MPA, FASHP and Wayne S. Bohenek, Pharm.D., M.S., FASHP Reviewed July 2009
What do we mean by “Quality”? Safe - avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them Effective - providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit (avoiding underuse and overuse, respectively) Patient Centered - providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions Timely - reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care. Efficient - avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy Equitable - providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status.
Stakeholder Response to Patient Safety High Quality Safe Care Payers Provide incentives to providers that use tools to increase safety and can demonstrate performance.
