The Health Quality and Safety Commission has overseen the introduction of an architecture of interacting measures. These include quality and safety indicators, or QSIs, which are whole-system measures; quality and safety markers, or QSMs, which are targeted measures of quality and safety interventions comprising process and outcome measures in sets; and the New Zealand Atlas of Healthcare Variation, which illustrates the differences in the health care received in different regions and by different groups of patients within New Zealand.ElectronicItems in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
