We know improving the quality of care in osteoporosis is an important goal. We have made some strides toward measuring quality of osteoporosis care, focusing on process measures regarding care that is provided. Unfortunately, improving care as measured by these process measures does not always yield improved outcomes. We need to hold health care providers and health care systems responsible not only for health care production but for production of health and well-being. However, there is a multiplicity of factors that will need to be considered to make this next step.
我们深知提升骨质疏松症护理质量是一个重要目标。我们已经在衡量骨质疏松症护理质量方面取得了一些进展,重点关注提供护理的流程措施。遗憾的是,这些流程措施衡量的护理质量改进并不总能带来结果的改善。我们不仅需要医疗机构和医疗体系对医疗保健的产出负责,还要对健康和福祉的产出负责。然而,要迈出下一步,还需要考虑到多种因素。
