According to quality control standards, healthcare organizations are required to participate in data monitoring and collection procedures. Why do quality control systems require that from organizations?
Answer
A
Quality control systems need data monitoring and collection to make money off healthcare practitioners.
B
Quality control systems would not develop quality standards without data monitoring and collection.
C
Quality control systems need data monitoring and collection to measure the effectiveness of quality standards.
D
Data monitoring and collection is the only way quality control systems can learn about healthcare malpractice or mistakes.
Explanation
Data monitoring and collection let a healthcare organization compare actual performance with its quality standards and determine whether those standards are working. For example, tracking infection rates over time can show whether a safety standard is reducing infections. This makes “measure the effectiveness of quality standards” the best answer; monitoring is not solely for profit or the only way to learn about mistakes.
