Introduction
In the whole world, healthcare systems are putting in a lot of effort to upgrade the standard of healthcare in any atmosphere on Evidence Based Healthcare as well as Evidence Based Medicine. The world is changing at a very high speed hence healthcare is also growing to aid in the strain of the developing world. As a result of the alterations made in healthcare, the perception of quality, the way in which it is insured and pursued goes on improving. The main concept in healthcare is quality management. For the top-class services, the key is better performance which calls for a better focus on performance systems. For quality improvement, probity, patient safety and quality assurance to be the center components of all activities, routines and processes, working practices should be put in place. The major influence to quality of life as well as economic performance is standards of health (Teleki, Damberg & Reville, 2006).
Setting of standards in healthcare is done through voluntary initiatives, public and regulatory initiatives and private. Standards are applied in three main categories: the first one is health care organizations like hospitals and health plans. In this case, setting of standards is set through accreditation, licensure and in some cases larger purchasers like Medicare and Fortune 50 companies are imposed with requirements. The other category is health care professionals where setting of standards is done through accrediting, state licensure, board certification and credentialing programs. The last category is drugs and devices where the FDA is used.
Standards monitored by by an organization to rule its activities is the ultimate measure of its quality system. Depending on the results of health care for different groups of patients and analysis of delivery of healthcare to individuals, the ultimate quality of health care delivery is determined (Tabish, 2009).
