Health Care Quality Concerns
1. For the most part, the relationship between clinical quality and patient experience of care is direct. Therefore, if clinical quality is ensured, patients will typically experience quality care. Similarly, if the clinical quality of the administration of care is poor, patients will experience lower quality levels of care. The crux of this relationship is the fact that clinical quality is a causative agent in the patient care experience. It is necessary to have high levels of clinical quality in order for patients to experience quality care. The former directly impacts the latter. In several instances, notably positive patient care experiences are the outcome of commendable clinical quality.
2. Accountability plays a considerable role in the consistent delivery of the quality of care administered in healthcare settings. It is one of the means of ensuring that there is such consistency in the care delivered, because it requires healthcare personnel to be responsible for their role in issuing quality care. Without accountability there is a lack of consistency in the quality of care administered, because personnel can simply blame one another or external factors for issues they could have fixed themselves regarding care. Some of the hallmarks of a culture built on this concept...
Tactics such as disseminating forms of patient feedback and inter-personnel feedback about patients’ experiences create such a culture.
3. There are some critical points of distinction between patient reports about experiences with care and patient ratings of satisfaction. For the most part, the former provides much more detail than the latter does. The information gleaned from patient ratings of satisfaction is circumscribed by the wording of those ratings. For instance, those which implement methods similar to a 7-point Likert Scale, which is fairly common for epistemological information (Capuano et al, 2016, p. 33), generally contain a statement and a few numbers with which patients can either agree or disagree with varying amounts of intensity. At best, these ratings have a small allotment in which to solicit feedback not detailed in the individual items. However, patient reports are not limited to any predefined parameters. They simply detail the most salient aspects of a particular patient’s experience. In this regard they yield much more…

Healthcare Delivery System Within the United States there is a dynamic between for-profit and not-for-profit health delivery systems. Health, in this instance, can be defined primarily as the facility's ability to restore ill patients to optimal physical standards.

However, the real question becomes which provides better care for patients and what types of
