WHAT DO WE MEAN BY QUALITY
![Page 9: Quality and Safety in Healthcare in an Age of Austerity](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce316abb61eb401c8b47e0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Quality:
The degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes
and are consistent with current professional knowledge
Safe: avoiding injuries to patients from care that is intended to help them
Effective – avoiding both under use and overuse of services that are based on
scientific knowledge
Patient centred – care that is respectful
and responsive to individual patient
preferences
Timely reducing waiting and delays for both patient and carer
Efficient: avoiding waste. Equipment, supplies, ideas and
energy
Equitable care that does not vary in quality
due to personal characteristics,
geography, demographic factors

DOES AUSTERITY THEN MEAN STAGNANT OR DECLINING QUALITY?
Yes if you are a victim of the Micawber Syndrome.

Health care systems around the world will not survive in austere times – let alone deliver high performance – without exceptional medical leadership. This is because the most important opportunities to improve productivity are to be found in unwarranted variations in clinical practice, such as prescribing, the use of diagnostic tests, and lengths of stay in hospital.
Chris Ham, Kings Fund. 2015.

Length of stay
Use of specific procedures
Follow up rates in outpatients
Antibiotic prescribing rates
Referral rates for common symptoms
Rates of use of imaging modalities
The standard economic view of NHS productivity
This leads to a certain view of the role of medical leadership, not always helpful to quality and safety....

“Use quantitative targets with caution. Goals in the form of such targets can have an important role en route to progress, but should never displace the primary goal of better care. When the pursuit of targets becomes, for whatever reason, the overriding priority, the people who work in that system may focus too narrowly. Financial goals require special caution; they reflect proper stewardship and prudence, but are only a means to support the mission of the NHS: healing.”

Conclusions The small inconsequential benefit seen from interventions that include arthroscopy for the degenerative knee is limited in time and absent at one to two years after surgery. Knee arthroscopy is associated with harms. Taken together, these findings do not support the practise of arthroscopic surgery for middle aged or older patients with knee pain with or without signs of osteoarthritis.
