This report calls for providing "safe, well-coordinated, accessible, and efficient" care through five key steps: expanding health insurance coverage, implementing evidence-based patient safety and quality interventions, increasing use of health information technology, public reporting of safety and quality measures, and rewarding achievement in quality through "pay-for-performance." The authors ascribe the current quality problems in the U.S. health care system to system failures, including misaligned payment incentives, inadequate motivation to challenge the status quo, inadequate information systems, duplicative regulatory systems, and an overemphasis on autonomy.
