Quality Department
A focus on quality patient care . . .
The goal of a healthcare system is for the patient to receive the best possible care. A healthcare quality department is in charge of ensuring quality healthcare is being administered to all patients. They are also in charge of managing risk, ensuring compliance, controlling infection, and improving overall performance. After the patient’s visit, quality management teams measure data, including adverse events, patient outcomes, and experience to optimize future care and make changes and recommendations as needed.
