Abstract

Measuring quality in healthcare is essential to improve the best practices and optimizing the use of resources. Despite some Quality of Care (QoC) initiatives in other medical specialties, little is known about this topic in Dental Implantology (DI). The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate quality indicators (QIs) by performing an importance-performance analysis (IPA) for DI. Identification of QIs was done based on a systematic search. Importance was assessed by experts through an online survey and performance was evaluated with a monocenter, retrospective study. Finally, importance-perfomance plots were constructed to identify quality improvement targets with cut-offs for level of importance (>75 %) and performance (>80 %). A total of 12 QIs were selected varying between structure, process and outcome variables. 5 indicators met the cut-off levels indicating high levels of importance as well as performance. However, there is still a need for further research to validate these possible indicators and to evaluate their final effect on the QoC.

种植牙学质量指标的系统检索与评价。

衡量医疗保健质量对于改进最佳实践和优化资源利用至关重要。尽管在其他医学专业中有一些护理质量（QoC）的倡议，但在牙科种植学（DI）中对这一主题知之甚少。本研究的目的是通过对DI进行重要性-绩效分析（IPA）来识别和评估质量指标（QIs）。在系统搜索的基础上进行了QIs的识别。重要性由专家通过在线调查评估，绩效通过单中心回顾性研究评估。最后，构建了重要性-绩效图，以确定质量改进目标，并为重要性水平（>为75%）和绩效水平（>为80%）设置了截止点。共选取了12个在结构、过程和结果变量之间变化的质量指标。5项指标达到临界值，表明重要性和表现都很高。然而，还需要进一步的研究来验证这些可能的指标，并评估它们对质量分数的最终影响。
