• A. Quality of Care
• B. Quality Improvement
• C. Informatics
• D. Developmental Theory

Answer: (A)

Quality of care focuses on how well the health services provided meet patients’ needs and align with professional standards. It is measured using tools like patient satisfaction surveys, chart reviews, and core measures or quality indicators that examine specific aspects of care and how the facility performs in particular areas. These measures capture the actual care experience and outcomes, showing where care is effective and where gaps exist. The idea is to assess the level and consistency of care delivered, not just the process used to improve it. Quality improvement, by contrast, uses data and methods to make changes aimed at raising those measures. Informatics centers on managing and using health data and information systems to support care. Developmental theory isn’t about measuring care quality.
