What does the National
Healthcare Agenda Mean to
Us?
Developed in cooperation with Patricia C. Kienle, MPA, FASHP and
Wayne S. Bohenek, Pharm.D., M.S., FASHP
Reviewed July 2009
What do we mean by
“Quality”?
Safe -
avoiding injuries to patients from the care
that is intended to help them
Effective - providing services based on scientific
knowledge to all who could benefit and
refraining from providing services to those not
likely to benefit (avoiding underuse and
overuse, respectively)
Patient Centered - providing care that is respectful
of and responsive to individual patient
preferences, needs, and values and ensuring
that patient values guide all clinical decisions
Timely - reducing waits and sometimes harmful
delays for both those who receive and those
who give care.
Efficient - avoiding waste, including waste of
equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy
Equitable - providing care that does not vary in
quality because of personal characteristics such
as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and
socioeconomic status.
