Description
An account of the resource
Caring for patients at the end of life presents a series of quality-of-care problems to the health care system. In the past, concern has focused on overaggressive treatment of dying patients. Given rapid changes in the financing and delivery of care, it is time to focus on a range of quality problems and address ways to improve care and achieve outcomes desired by patients and their families. We provide a framework for conceptualizing such a task. This article addresses the purposes of measurement, definition of the patient population, timing of measurement, use of surrogates in measurement, scope of services to be evaluated, and the choice of measures. It emphasizes the necessary links between quality measurement and quality improvement. [References: 43]

Description
An account of the resource
Despite the universality of dying, research has not focused on developing conceptual models and measurement tools for examining the quality of care and quality of life of dying patients and their loved ones. We present here a vision and research agenda for the development of a Tool Kit of Instruments to Measure End of Life Care (TIME). Instruments for inclusion in the eventual "Tool Kit" should be patient-focused and family-centered, clinically meaningful, administratively manageable, and psychometrically sound. Prioritizing domains to measure quality of care should be based on consumer input and synergistic with ongoing efforts to formulate guidelines and standards of care. For this vulnerable population, research is needed regarding the timing and sources of data collection. In order to achieve maximal benefit, ultimately measurement tools must be incorporated into existing measurement systems and consideration be given to generating informative reports which leads to institutional action to improve the quality of care.
