How it is done: are best practices implemented, are people being vaccinated. Structure easier to measure even though learning about outcomes might be best to learn. Florence nightengale (british nurse helping in war in crimea) Hospital quality: traditional measures (none of theses are clean measures to measure quality) Problem of looking at hospital deaths: many people die at home.
