Assessment of the medical quality evaluation index system / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

The paper explicitly defines and classifies the medical quality evaluation indexes from the aspects of uses, sources and nature and analyzes problems and shortcomings in the current medical quality evaluation index system from such perspectives as the coverage, specificity, sensitivity, reliability, and scientificalness of the index system and the collection and application of the indexes. On the basis of this, the paper expounds the future development trends of the index system and the principles and methods employed in determining the indexes. It points out that it is necessary ① to further strengthen the integration between the medical quality evaluation indexes and the evaluation units, ② to reinforce the quality evaluation of the links, ③to evaluate medical quality in a comprehensive way from different angles, ④ to further develop mathematical evaluation models related to the statistical indexes, ⑤ to enhance the applicability of the quality evaluation index system in institutions of different grades and scales.
