Epidemiology of Quality
Author: Vahe A Kazandjian
Here is a "how—to" approach for exploring the essentials of common quality measurement standards. Readers will learn how to translate quality management concepts into the decision—making process.
William R. Hendee
This book addresses the question of what happens to groups of people when exposed to different aspects and doses of quality, primarily but not exclusively in a health care setting. Multiauthored with contributions from 22 individuals with excellent credentials in epidemiology, quality assurance, hospital administration, health care finance, and health services research, the book starts with epidemiological theory and tools, navigates through concepts and principles, and ends with descriptions of successful national initiatives to quantify performance and improve social accountability of healthcare services. The purpose of the book is to (1) illustrate how epidemiological methods of inquiry can be applied to studies of the quality of care; (2) describe the changes in population health status that occur over time following exposure to quality; and (3) demonstrate the common frame of mind underlying both the study of disease and that of health status following exposure to shades of quality. The authors state that the book should be of interest to all in pursuit of quality of care. In particular, the book should interest anyone who has managerial or operational responsibility for some form of health care service in inpatient, outpatient, or public health settings. It is not overly technical or sophisticated, and it should be comprehensible to persons from a wide spectrum of backgrounds. This hardbound text is attractively formatted and adequately illustrated. Each of the 16 chapters is annotated with references that provide a reasonable historical as well as current context. The index is adequate. This book begins with a definition of epidemiology, but of greater interest is a definition ofquality. Quality is described in the various chapters more through example and comparison than by definition. One is left with the impression that I can't define quality, but I know it when I see it. Like good art. Nevertheless, this is an excellent book for many of us. Patient and social accountability are being demanded of everyone working in healthcare. Accountability is met through the delivery of cost-effective services of high quality. Cost is measurable, and so is cost-effectiveness to a lesser extent. This book addresses the issue of quantifying quality. Examples, many from other disciplines, are used to illustrate the application of quality measures to healthcare. These examples point how far our society has come over a short period in its commitment (or at least its claim to commitment) to quality in the marketplace. And they emphasize how far we have to go in health care to achieve the same level of commitment. One good step in this direction is to read this book.

The authors illustrate how the epidemiological methods of inquiry can be applied to studies of the quality of health care. Sections on applications of epidemiological techniques and reports from the field address subjects including indicators of performance, survey methods, comparative performance measurement for health plans, reporting patient outcomes, and managing quality under cost constraints.
