Description
Quality and safety in health care are about health facilities and providers, clinicians and other professionals, providing the 'right' care for the 'right' people at the 'right' first time and in the 'right' amount. With safe, high quality care, people can function better and enjoy a better life by surviving survial well. At stake can be life itself, quality of life and well-being, morale, time, resources, professional reputations.
Quality of care matters. It is consistently ranked by consumers as a high concern about their care and the quality and safety of their care cannot be assumed. A 24-hour a day commitment is needed to always work to achieve excellence. This needs the support of appropriate systems and processes.
The strong emphasis on getting health value for spending has increased the demand for cost-effective analysis and research into effectiveness of care and patient outcomes.
