ISQua s 31 st International Conference Quality and Safety Along the Health and Social Care Continuum Integrating Performance Measurement into Every Level of Care: What Does it Mean in Your Organization? Is Your Organization Ready? Yosef D. Dlugacz, PhD, CMQ Senior Vice President and Chief of Clinical Quality, Education and Research Catherine M. Besthoff, RN, MHA, CPHQ on behalf of Krasnoff Quality Management Institute a division of North Shore-LIJ Health System slide # 1 slide # 2 One of the most fundamental questions to be addressed to improve the situation is deceptively simple: How do we know when health care services are good? The answer, also simple, it to measure those services. Another basic question is this: Is health care fair in terms of access and cost? The answer, again, is measures. When measures are used to analyze how health care institutions perform in quality and in finance, the organization has a basis for understanding its delivery of care and for improving that care.
