Notes:
NASEM defines access to health care as having the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best health outcomes. Measures of access to care include having health insurance, having a usual source of care, encountering difficulties when seeking care, and receiving care as soon as wanted.
Affordable care means ensuring affordable and accessible high-quality healthcare for all. Measures of affordable care include measures of the financial burden of healthcare and delayed care or not receiving care because of cost.
Data assessing the performance of the U.S. health care system in coordinating care across providers or services. Care coordination means having a healthcare system that is less fragmented and more organized, where handoffs are clear and patients and clinicians have the information they need. Measures of care coordination include measures of transition of care, sharing medication information, potentially avoidable hospitalization and ED visits.
The most effective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality. Effective care means delivering optimal treatments for acute illness to help reduce the consequences of illness and promote the best recovery possible. The effective treatment measures include measures for preventive care, treatment of acute illness, and chronic disease management.
Healthy living focuses on healthcare practices that help people maintain healthy lifestyles. Measures of healthy living include measures for clinical preventive services, maternal and child healthcare, and obesity and smoking prevention.
Patient Safety means making care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care. Measures of patient safety include measures related to healthcare associated infections, adverse drug events, and birth-related complications.
Ensuring that each person and family is engaged as partners in their care. Person-centered care means defining success not just by the resolution of clinical symptoms but also by whether patients achieve their desired outcomes. Some examples of person-centered care include ensuring that patients’ preferences, desired outcomes, and experiences of care are integrated into care delivery; integrating patient-generated data in electronic health records; and finding additional ways to involve patients and families in managing their care effectively.
