title: New study shows progress for Medicare quality of care.
abstract: A new 60-chart report prepared for the Commonwealth Fund on the health of Medicare beneficiaries shows many signs of progress-especially in areas that have been targeted as national priorities such as mammography, inpatient treatment of heart attacks, and outpatient care of diabetes. However, noticeable gaps and deficiencies in care, along with great variations in healthcare quality, still exist nationwide.
