Quality health care is an innovative approach to delivering health care. The major factor for its success is that it:
1. Focuses on the nursing process
2. Uses outcomes to manage client care
3. Is used exclusively in the acute care setting
4. Allows a high degree of flexibility delivering the care
ANS: 2
Health care providers are defining and measuring quality in terms of outcomes. An outcome is a measure of what actually does or does not happen as a result of a process of care.
The focus in quality health care is on the outcome, not the process.
Quality health care is not used exclusively in the acute care setting. It may be used in various health care settings.
Because quality health care is based on achieving outcomes, it does not allow a high degree of flexibility for the nurse in delivering care.
