I could be wrong, but I thought outcomes measures were more about patient results, like infections or immunizations, not structure.

This is a good test of our understanding of healthcare quality metrics. I'll carefully consider each option and try to apply the definitions of structure, process, and outcome measures that we covered in class.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought structure measures were more about the physical facilities and equipment, not the qualifications of the providers. I'm going to have to re-read the question stem to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

I think B is the right answer, but I'm just glad I don't have to go to the hospital and risk catching an infection. That would be the worst outcome of all!

Ha! Waiting times at the doctor's office are always a good indicator of quality. If I have to sit there for hours, that's a clear sign of a poorly run practice. Option A all the way!
