Abstract

The National Committee for Quality Assurances (NCQA's) annual assessment of healthcare quality noted some good news and some bad news for the healthcare community. For the good news, more health plans and providers are approaching optimal results for several measures related to cardiovascular care and cancer prevention. However, failure of all plans to deliver the right preventive or follow-up care for other common conditions--such as diabetes and high blood pressure--means that more than 57,000 Americans are dying unnecessarily every year, NCQA estimated.

国家质量保证委员会(NCQA)对医疗保健质量的年度评估指出了医疗保健界的一些好消息和一些坏消息。好消息是，在心血管护理和癌症预防方面，越来越多的健康计划和提供者正在接近最佳结果。然而，据NCQA估计，所有计划都未能为其他常见疾病(如糖尿病和高血压)提供正确的预防或后续护理，这意味着每年有超过57,000名美国人不必要地死亡。
