Joint Commission: 4 Ways to Incorporate Accountability Measures Into Healthcare

Here are four ways that healthcare organizations can identify quality measures that emphasize accountability, according to the Joint Commission.  
1.    Research: ask if the measures include evidence-based medicine.
2.    Proximity: ask if the measures closely monitor the relationship between care delivery and patient outcomes.
3.    Accuracy: choose measures that determine whether or not the care process has been correctly executed.
4.    Adverse Effects: ensure that the measures have little or no change of causing adverse consequences.
