description | Quality improvement is an emerging field, that applies principles of improvement science and utilizes measurement methods with the aim of improving patient care. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease associated with increased healthcare burden, cost, morbidity, and mortality. Gaps in delivering care to patients with SSc have been consistently observed. In this article, we introduce the discipline of quality improvement and its use of quality measures. We summarize and comparatively evaluate three sets of quality measures that have been proposed to evaluate the quality of care of patients with SSc. Finally, we highlight the areas of unmet needs and indicate future directions for quality improvement and quality measures in SSc. |
