  • Rethinking Decision Quality

    Open AccessPeter H Schwartz, Greg A SachsARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2022

    Studies of patient decision‐making use many different measures to evaluate the quality of decisions and the decision‐making process, partly to determine whether the ethical goals of informed consent, patient autonomy, and shared decision‐making have been achieved. We describe these measures, grouped under three main approaches, and review their limitations, leading to three conclusions. First, no measure or combination of measures can provide a c…

  • Relationship Between Quality of Care and Functional Decline in Hospitalized Vulnerable Elders

    Vineet M Arora, Colleen Plein et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009References: 23

    BACKGROUND: Although process of care is a valuable dimension of quality, process-of-care-based quality indicators (POC-QIs) are ideally associated with meaningful patient outcomes. The relationship between POC-QIs for hospitalized older patients and functional decline, a relevant outcome for older patients, is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between POC-QIs for hospitalized elders and functional decline. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observatio…

  • Implications of New Geriatric Diabetes Care Guidelines for the Assessment of Quality of Care in Older Patients

  • Increasing the Prevalence of Advance Care Planning

    Greg A SachsARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report1994

    The question of developing an effective intervention for advance care planning rests on several assumptions. On a general level, the assumption is that advance care planning is a good thing, that we should want more people to perform it. On a more specific level, the question assumes that an advance care plan, whether documented in a written advance directive or made in less formal ways, will accurately reflect an individual's wishes, will be upd…
