Preferred term

decision quality  

Definition

  • In its landmark report, Crossing the Quality Chasm, the Institute of Medicine set out six aims for high-quality medical care: that care should be effective, efficient, equitable, safe, timely, and patient-centered. A significant part of the quality of medical care is determined by the large and small decisions that doctors and patients make every day about seeking care, having tests, starting treatments, and stopping treatments.
