Quality assurance in ambulatory care
Abstract
Many of the methods for evaluating the quality of ambulatory care are costly, cumbersome, and possibly counterproductive. Major developments in evaluating the quality of the doctor-patient relationship are needed before a general assessment of the quality of ambulatory care is possible. Nonetheless, limited reviews based on insurance claims data can efficiently improve certain aspects of ambulatory care.
