What are Quality Measures?

Quality Measures are standardized measuring tools created to help hospitals and clinics know how well they provide health care. These tools are called 'quality measures' because they indicate how well care is provided. Below you will find links to 10 Quality Measures each graphed with explanations.

Our site contains some of our quality measures and indicates how we treat different types of health problems based on outcomes. They also look at how our patients feel about our hospitals and clinics. If you would like to see more quality measures, click on the 'Other Quality Websites' tab on the left.
