Types of Measures

Types of Quality Measures Used at UMass Memorial

We use several quality measures across UMass Memorial, including:

  • Process measures assess whether a specific, evidence-based patient safety activity or step was correctly performed, indicating the reliability of the health care system.
  • Outcome measures reflect the ultimate impact of care on the patient, such as the actual incidence of harm (e.g., surgical site infection rate, readmission rate) or positive results.
