Over the last years, measurements of quality of care have become more and more a public product, used by providers, purchasers and consumers, and patients. This information serves as an important guide for improvement, as well as a decision support tool for everybody taking part in medical treatment. This evolution can be compared with advertising and as in commercials it is important to use the right information. In this report we focus on the quality of adult cardiac surgery. Honest information is of course essential, but in this article attention is asked for the variables used to evaluate the quality of cardiac surgery. (Neth Heart J 2010;18:365-9.).
在过去的几年中,医疗服务质量的衡量标准越来越成为一种公共产品,被提供者、购买者和消费者以及患者使用。这些信息不仅是改进的重要指南,也是参与医疗的每个人的决策支持工具。这种演变可以与广告相媲美,就像在广告中一样,使用正确的信息非常重要。在本报告中,我们专注于成人心脏手术的质量。当然,诚实的信息是必不可少的,但本文还提请注意用于评估心脏手术质量的变量。(Neth Heart J 2010;18:365-9.)。
