title: Does a state level acute hospital admitted patient dataset encapsulate appropriate performance measures of a process of care?
abstract: Strategically there is a need to not only take a clinical process view of health care delivery but also identify the appropriate information to support the processes. When considering the clinical process view, the challenge for continuous quality improvement is to eliminate inappropriate process steps, and continuously document performance/outcome. The questions are what performance measures are useful, and does a state level data collection capture relatable measures of a process of care.
