APPENDIX A

Workshop: Envisioning a National Quality Report on Health Care

PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE OF THE WORKSHOP

The general purpose of the workshop was to provide the Institute of Medicine Committee on the National Quality Report on Health Care Delivery with practical, state-of-the-art information on the definition and reporting of national indicators of health care quality.

The workshop involved more than 40 participants and was open to the public. The topics were organized in three parts: (1) Lessons to be Learned from Other Experiences; (2) Measuring the Dimensions of Health Care Quality; and, (3) Technical, Data, and Policy Issues.

Presenters were asked to focus on the practical or applied, rather than the theoretical, aspects of their subject. They were also asked to give their opinion regarding the proposed framework for the National Health Care Quality Report as it referred to the subject they are addressing. Those presenting on specific quality measures were asked to present evidence on why the measures should be included in the Quality Report and to comment on available data sources or data needs for implementing the quality measures proposed.

ISSUES ADDRESSED AT THE WORKSHOP

  • The feasibility of measuring patient centeredness, safety, effectiveness, and efficiency as dimensions of quality of care.

  • The availability and appropriateness of public and private data sources for national indicators of quality of care.

  • The feasibility of translating experiences from other sectors and countries to measure quality of health care in the United States.

  • The need for specific measures of quality for particular populations and tracking disparities in health care quality.

    How good is the quality of health care in the United States? Is quality improving? Or is it suffering? While the average person on the street can follow the state of the economy with economic indicators, we do not have a tool that allows us to track trends in health care quality. Beginning in 2003, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) will produce an annual report on the national trends in the quality of health care delivery in the United States. AHRQ commissioned the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to help develop a vision for this report that will allow national and state policy makers, providers, consumers, and the public at large to track trends in health care quality. Envisioning the National Health Care Quality Report offers a framework for health care quality, specific examples of the types of measures that should be included in the report, suggestions on the criteria for selecting measures, as well as advice on reaching the intended audiences. Its recommendations could help the national health care quality report to become a mainstay of our nation's effort to improve health care.
