title: Minding your Ps and Qs. Are you measuring up?
abstract: It seems that new sets of hospital quality of care and patient safety measures are created monthly. Some of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations measures are similar but different from the Peer Review Organization Sixth Scope of Work disease-specific measurement set, which varies from the Leapfrog measures, which are not the same as the proposed measures of the Michigan Health and Safety Coalition. These are but a few of the dozens of measurement sets.
