Satisfying the Demanding Customer 4 Measuring Health Care: Using Quality Data for Operational, Financil, and Clinical Improvement by Yosef D. Dlugacz  The values of evidence based medicine is more than an act of compliance, it is the right thing to do.  Data provides information that explains why, and why not, events occur.  Patients do their homework and know what to expect.  Offer value that will satisfy patients.

Showing the Numbers 5  Numbers can usually quantify even extremely abstract concepts.  The patient is the only one who can evaluate individual pain levels. Measuring Health Care: Using Quality Data for Operational, Financil, and Clinical Improvement by Yosef D. Dlugacz

Case Example: Housekeeping 6  Data was collected measuring the length of time it took to clean a room and to turn over the room properly to patients.  Control charts gave a sense of what constituted efficient turnover and insufficient turnover, which allows for future goals to be set.  Realized that bed turnover had an effect on ED waiting time.
