Compare and contrast The Joint Commission core measurement system with their accountability measures, providing an example of each.
What will be an ideal response?
The core measurement system is an initiative used to measure the quality and safety of healthcare and the accountability measures are the system that measures the specific quality and accountability for treatment of certain diagnoses. For example, the core measurement system includes the common collection of data across facilities in diagnostic related areas such as tobacco use, pneumonia diagnoses, and heart failure patients. Accountability measures may include the specific number of years that a cancer patient has a smoking history, the presence or absence of a pneumonia vaccine in patients diagnosed with pneumonia, and the history of myocardial infarction in patients with a diagnosis of heart failure.
