Summary of Trends Across National Quality Strategy Priorities

Number and percentage of all quality measures that are improving, not changing, or worsening overall and by NQS prority. Text Description is below the image.

 

  Improving No Change Worsening
Total (n=168) 102 55 11
Person-Centered Care (n=20) 17 3  
Effective Treatment (n=46) 24 17 5
Healthy Living (n=38) 18 17 3
Patient Safety (n=31) 14 16 1

Key: n = number of measures.
Note: For most measures, trend data are available from 2001-2002 to 2012. For each measure with at least four estimates over time, weighted log-linear regression is used to calculate average annual percentage change and to assess statistical significance. Measures are aligned so that positive change indicates improved access to care.

  • Improving = Rates of change are positive at 1% per year or greater and statistically significant.
  • No Change = Rate of change is less than 1% per year or not statistically significant.
  • Worsening = Rates of change are negative at -1% per year or greater and statistically significant.
  • Almost all Person-Centered Care measures improved compared with 60% of all quality measures.
