Patients Need a System to Compare Healthcare Quality Not Just Prices
Briefly

In order for a patient-centered quality measure system to function effectively, it is crucial to incentivize adoption at the condition level, fostering real comparisons.
The passage of the price transparency act by the U.S. House of Representatives highlights the ongoing efforts to empower patients but should be accompanied by robust quality metrics.
To ensure practical healthcare comparisons, identifying clinicians who meet a minimum volume threshold for common procedures is essential for establishing a baseline of quality.
Accurate clinician directories are necessary to support patients and employers in making informed choices; without them, any price comparison system will fall short.
