Despite decades of work to improve healthcare quality, there are still variation and gaps
in care. Healthcare leaders must continue to push for a more efficient and fair healthcare
system in the United States. This extensively revised fifth edition of The Healthcare Quality
Book provides a framework, a methodology, and practical approaches to assist healthcare
professionals in championing improvement efforts in their organizations.
This definitive text is divided into three sections that cover the fundamentals of healthcare
quality, critical quality topics, and key strategies for effectively leading quality. It brings
together healthcare thought leaders with a wide range of subject matter expertise. In their
chapter contributions, these leaders explore the foundation of healthcare quality, share their
perspectives on essential and cutting-edge topics, and offer strategies for learning the skills
to lead a culture of quality.
New content in this edition includes:
* A deeper dive into quality improvement tools and models such as Baldrige and
Magnet
* A new chapter on health equity and disparities in care
* A redesigned chapter on population health with a greater focus on community health
and social determinants of health
* An expanded chapter on patient experience that incorporates more information on
quality measurement
* A redesigned chapter on health information technology that discusses the digital and
emerging health technologies that affect quality
