Quality Measures for Clinical Conditions

Scientific studies have shown that patients with certain conditions benefit from specific tests, treatments, and medications, many of which need to be delivered in a timely way to get optimal benefit. We know that the health care industry can be slow to adopt these proven interventions. Clinical experts at Partners HealthCare work together to review recommended guidelines and standardize their best practices to ensure that all patients in our system - whether in the hospital or the physician's office - get the care that has been shown to be of benefit as soon as possible.
