Improvements for Health Care Quality
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), in conjunction with the U.S. News and World Report released a report announcing improved performance of HMOs. According to The State of Health Care Quality 2005, as many as 67,000 deaths have been prevented over the past six years due to increased reporting and quality standards. Unfortunately, voluntary reporting nets only 21.5 percent of the industry publicly reporting on performance.
