We have considered managements' responsibilities in the healthcare system that pertain to patient safety, patient satisfaction and quality of care. We examined the healthcare manager's role in the use of quality assurance data and tools such as key performance indicators. For this discussion, let us focus on how the use of data tools might improve quality and improve patient safety and satisfaction. Choose one of the following six aims of healthcare mentioned by the WHO and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in this week's lecture:

-safe

-effective

-patient-centered

-timely

-efficient

-equitable

In initial post, address the following prompts

-Define your chosen aim.

-Determine the healthcare issue your aim most closely relates to: patient safety, quality improvement, or patient satisfaction. Then articulate how that particular healthcare issue relates to your chosen aim.

-Evaluate what data tools or metrics might aid you in improving your healthcare aim.
