Quality of Health Care in the
United States: Practice and
Promise
Professor Joseph D. Restuccia
Boston University School of Management
Quality of Health Care
“Degree to which health services
for individuals and populations
increase the likelihood of desired
health outcomes and are consistent
with professional knowledge.”
- Institute of Medicine (IOM)
Strengths of the United States
Health Care System
Modern, well-equipped hospitals and
ambulatory facilities
 Highly trained physicians, nurses and other
medical personnel
 Availability of high technology diagnostic
and therapeutic procedures

Weaknesses of the United States
Health Care System
Overuse and inappropriate care
 Underuse of effective care
 Misuse and error in medical care
 Inefficiency and waste

Assessment of US Health Care
System to Achieve 6 Aims
“In its current form, habits, and
environment, American health
care system is incapable of
providing the public with the
quality of health care it expects
and deserves.”
- IOM Committee on Health Care in
America
“Every Defect is a Treasure”
Japanese saying: every defect is a treasure
because identifying a defect enables us to
find the root cause and to eliminate it and,
thus, to make improvements in the future
 If defects are jewels, recent investigations to
identify and quantify defects in US health
care have discovered a treasure chest (or
Pandora’s box)

Weaknesses of the United States
Health Care System
Overuse and inappropriate care
 Underuse of effective care
 Misuse and error in medical care
 Inefficiency and waste

Weaknesses of the United States
Health Care System
Overuse and inappropriate care
 Underuse of effective care
 Misuse and error in medical care


Underuse (Financial Access)
Over 40 million people are uninsured at any
point in time
 Over 75 million are uninsured as some time
during the year
 About an equal number are severely
underinsured
 The majority of the uninsured and underinsured
are the working poor and their dependents


Misuse
Adverse drug events (ADEs) caused
by medication errors occur in 1.8/100
hospital admissions
 ADEs add $4,700 per admission
 20% of ADEs are life threatening
 There are an estimated 500,000
preventable medication errors per
year causing 7,000 deaths

Misuse
An estimated 2.9% – 3.7% of hospital
admissions have an adverse event (from
all causes)
 Over 1 million adverse events per year
 Estimated national cost of adverse events
is $38-50 billion per year – almost half
preventable (2-4% of total health costs)

Misuse
An estimated 180,000 deaths per year
due to adverse events (= 3 jumbo jet
crashes every two days)
 Between 44,000 - 98,000 due to
preventable adverse events
 More deaths than due to motor vehicle
accidents (43,438), breast cancer
(43,297) or AIDS (16,516)

Assessment of US Health Care
System to Achieve 6 Aims
“In its current form, habits, and
environment, American health car
is incapable of providing the public
with the quality of health care it
expects and deserves.”
- IOM Committee on Health Care in
America
IOM’s Six Aims for Improvement
• Safety
• Effectiveness
• Patient-centeredness
• Timeliness
• Efficiency
• Equity
Safe Care
A patient receiving medical care should be
as safe as he is in his own home
 Example: Computerized physician order
entry system to prevent medication errors
 Example: Surgeons “sign your site” of the
body part that will be operated upon

Effective Care
Avoid overuse and underuse of services
 Example: Redesign processes based on best
practices such as ensuring that patients at
risk for heart disease take appropriate
medications
 Example: Implement utilization
management to reduce inappropriate
hospital use

Patient Centered Care
Respect patient needs, preferences, and
culture
 Example: Give patient access to his own
medical record
 Example: Give patients information on
alternative treatments and decision-making
in treatment choice

Timely Care
Reduce waits for those who receive and
who give care
 Example: Availability of appointments after
work hours and on weekends
 Example: Email and telephone access to
physicians and nurse practitioners
 Example: “Open access” to physicians and
nurse practitioners

Efficient Care
Reduce waste of facilities, equipment,
supplies, and people
 Example: implement inventory management
systems to reduce amount of drugs and
other supplies
 Example: Use flexible staffing systems
based on patient numbers and needs to
adjust number of nurses per patient care unit

Equitable Care
Reduce racial, ethnic, geographic and socioeconomic differences
 Example: Provide interpreters for nonEnglish speaking patients
 Example: Train more physicians from
minority racial and ethnic groups
 Example: Establish universal health
insurance coverage

Purpose of Health Care System
“To reduce continually the
burden of illness, injury, and
disability, and to improve the
health status and function of the
people of the United States”
- President’s Advisory Commission on
Consumer Protection and Quality
Focus of Quality
Quality must be defined in terms
of experience and outcomes of
the patient and the population
that generates patients
Levels of Needed Health Care System Change
Patient
Microsystem (patient units, physician offices)
Organization (hospitals, medical groups)
Environment (insurers, purchasers, government)
Levels of Needed Change
The patient’s experience
 The functioning of small units
(“microsystems”) that provide patient care
 The functioning of organizations that
contain microsystems
 The environment of policy, payment,
accreditation and regulation

Levels of Needed Health Care System Change
All levels of the system must work together
to meet the patient’s needs
 The patient must be at center, the first
priority of the health care system
 The major question to ask in changing the
system or in treating the patient must be,
“Is this the best thing we can do for the
patient?”

