Healthcare quality encompasses the satisfaction level of the patient after he or she receives medical care. In a capitalist system (such as the healthcare system of the United States), a tried-and-true method of improving the quality involves fair and objective measurement of how different providers are performing so that patients can make more informed decisions about their care.
