Measurements are part of process changes and quality improvements. However, measurements alone do not create improvements. A quality improvement system should include a data collection mechanism, valid and reliable measures of outcomes, and a collection of tools or methodologies with ongoing efforts. It is also vital that the measurement strategies will accurately capture whether the evidence-based care has been delivered to the patients.

• Describe the role of continuous quality improvement in health care outcomes.
• Assess the importance of evidence-based practice in improving quality of care. Be sure to provide an example of evidence-based practice. 
• Discuss challenges in collecting and analyzing quantitative data in measuring quality outcomes.
• Discuss how the Quality Improvement Measure “Patients who “Strongly Agree” they understood their care when they left the hospital” under the “Survey of Patients’ Experiences” category relates.
