The idea

Quality in healthcare is examined through structure, process and outcome — what a setting has, what it does, and what results.

In practice

Staffing levels, the rounding procedure, and the pressure-injury rate, examined together.

Where people slip

A poor outcome can come from structure or from process. Measuring only outcomes tells you something is wrong and not where.

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
