Description

This 2nd annual report extends the baseline established in the 2003 report for a set of health care quality measures across 4 dimensions of quality -- effectiveness, safety, timeliness, & patient centeredness -- &, within the effectiveness component, 9 clinical condition areas or care settings -- cancer, diabetes, end stage renal disease, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, maternal & child health, mental health, respiratory diseases, & nursing home & health care. This report is based on detailed analyses of 179 measures. Three key themes emerge from this analysis: quality is improving in many areas, but change takes time; the gap between the best possible care & actual care remains large; & further improvement in health care is possible. Charts & tables.
