Health care quality has been a central goal of both the medical profession and of health policy in the United States for over a century. In addition, anyone in healthcare today are interested in defining ‘‘quality improvement.” Quality of health care has become a national and international policy issue.
Decades of studies indicate that quality of care needs improvement all over the world, and therefore sentiment has grown that public disclosure of information about quality of care should be one component of clinical governance. The United States government has developed the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the National Quality Forum to promote the development and reporting of quality measures. In the US, where employer-provided health insurance is the norm, consortia of employers are also using quality measures to assess and select providers, and these are also beginning to incorporate some evidence-based measures of structure and process. The use of quality improvement (QI) methods in healthcare is now widespread. Some QI initiatives have documented significant improvements in processes or patient outcomes, some have shown only modest improvements, and others have failed to show any improvement at all. Quality in hospital settings are affected not only by the quality of technical care received, but also by the quality of the interpersonal relationships (both patient- to-staff and staff-to-staff), and the quality of the practice environment. For example, Wheelchairs for children with impaired mobility provide health, developmental and psycho- social benefits. however there is limited understanding of how mobility aids affect the health- related quality of life of children with impaired mobility.
