Through quality improvement programs, we can pinpoint where there is overuse, underuse or misuse of health care, and systematically develop solutions for these issues. Many efforts to improve care have resulted in measurable, real changes in hospitals and doctors’ offices. These slides depict quality improvement efforts in various settings. This slideshow is part of a collection of slides that describes the state of health care quality today, where we want to go with health care quality and how we get there.
The Talking About Quality resource presents health care statistics, facts and messages related to health care quality and reform. These slides can be downloaded individually or collectively for use in your presentations, or you can add them to the “My Presentation Builder” tool, which is featured in the right-hand column of this page. These slides will be updated regularly with recent research and messages.
