Assignment:
Professional Development Assignments:
Definitions of the quality of medical care are no longer
left to clinicians who decide for themselves what technical performance
constitutes “good care.” What are the other dimensions of quality
care and why are they important? What has changed since the days when
“doctor knows best?”
Quality in medical care may be defined as achieving the
greatest benefit at the lowest risk. How have the priorities of our health care
system and the allocation of resources addressed this goal?
Contrast the definitions of implicit and explicit criteria
in assessing health care quality. How is each type of criterion useful in quality
assessment?
Please submit one APA formatted paper between 1000 – 1500
words, not including the title and reference page. The assignment should have a
minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.
