A recent decision by the National Quality Forum endorsing a measure on readmissions has a group of large hospitals and systems crying foul and criticizing the group's process. "It's very rare that we don't have overwhelming support for measures when they're endorsed because there are so many opportunities to have issues raised and resolved along the way... This is an unusual case," says Dr. Helen Burstin, left, of the NQF.
美国国家质量论坛最近做出的一项支持再入院率衡量标准的决定，引发了一批大型医院及医疗系统的强烈不满，并对该组织的流程提出批评。美国国家质量论坛的海伦·伯斯汀博士（左）表示：“当衡量标准获得认同时，我们很少得不到压倒性的支持，因为在此过程中有很多机会提出并解决问题……这是个不同寻常的情况。”
