Quality measurement and management are key components of the administration's healthcare reform proposal, and translating outcomes information into "report cards" for healthcare consumers and purchasers will create a "final common pathway to public accountability," according to Dennis S. O'Leary, MD, and Paul M. Schyve, MD, senior spokesmen for the Joint Commission on Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations. While the nature of the accreditation process as it currently exists may well change, the authors insist that the measurement and monitoring process that is ultimately adopted must include both performance standards and outcomes measures.
医疗质量测量与管理是政府医疗改革提案的关键组成部分。据医疗组织评审联合委员会的高级发言人丹尼斯·S·奥利里医学博士和保罗·M·施维医学博士称，将医疗结果信息转化为面向医疗消费者和购买者的“成绩单”，将创造一条“通向公共问责的最终共同途径”。虽然目前认证过程的性质很可能会改变，但作者坚持认为，最终采用的测量和监测过程必须既包括绩效标准，也包括结果指标。
