Your textbook defines quality measure as “any type of measurement used to gauge a quantifiable component of performance.” A quality measure is sometimes referred to as an indicator. As a healthcare manager, it is essential to understand both internal and external quality indicators. Agencies such as Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and Joint Commission (JC) are sources for internal and external clinical performance and patient satisfaction quality indicators/data.
For this discussion, you will explore these agencies' websites. Access to the AHRQ, CMS, and JC websites and their data pages is available on this module's Readings and Resources page. You are encouraged to start there.
