Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Performance measures also vary in the degree of evidence supporting their use and in the information available about how their implementation may affect provider behaviors. [...]it is within the scope of the writing committee's task to comment, when appropriate, on the strengths and limitations of external reporting for a particular cardiovascular disease state or patient population. [...]the metrics contained within this document are categorized as either "performance measures" or "quality measures." [...]the present measures address not only whether important cardiac risk factors such as hypertension and lipids are "treated" but whether these are "controlled" to target goals.
