title: Information systems support for healthcare quality: a comprehensive framework.
abstract: Although management concepts for delivering quality products and services have been employed extensively in other industries, their inroads into healthcare have been comparatively slight. In the first of a two-part series, healthcare information systems consultant Peter Spitzer, M.D., sets forth a framework for defining high-quality healthcare delivery, and he tells how information systems can be put to work to achieve this goal.
