The best quality measure is whether or not the patients are getting better. Instead we now have these other quality measures that have little if any basis on true outcomes. Worse yet is that time, manpower and resources are now diverted to these measures instead of the measure that really mean something, like do you have enough nurses actually taking care of patients instead of your nurses taking care of “outcome” paperwork.
