Health care organizations dedicate enormous time and resources collecting data to measure the performance of physicians, hospitals, and other medical facilities. These measures may reflect outcomes, processes of care, patient perceptions of the quality of care, and resource utilization and cost. However, less thought is given to how the performance data should be used to improve care. The data must be translated into clinically relevant terms that assess the decisions of the clinical staff and the functioning of the systems that support the delivery of care. The processes of care are identified through record review, analysis of the system of care delivery, and patient interview, and are then further assessed to determine the underlying causes. EXAMPLES: Examples, drawn from case studies, are provided to illustrate how to identify and address components of care requiring improvement.
