چکیده
Quality and safety staff, as well as clinical and other staff (e.g., quality and/or patient safety officer at the hospital) involved in quality improvement work, should be involved in assessing the hospital’s performance on the QIs and making decisions on priorities for improvement. Statisticians, data analysts, and programmers can help to calculate the QIs using data available from the hospital and relevant information from other sources.

متن کاملImproving Quality Measurement using Multiple Data Sources
