Answer 1
To achieve optimal health, Americans had to have a number of supreme quality of health related care services that are typically supported within a healthy public health system, both independently and collaboratively. The committee began by considering one of the Institute of Medicine's recommendations when analyzing the health-care industry's responsibility in protecting the nation's health
All health-care organizations, professional associations, private and public purchasers, and government agencies should make it their explicit mission to reduce the risk of diseases, damage, and impairment while also increasing Americans' health and wellbeing.” Clinicians, institutions as well as other medical centers, insurance companies, and medical ethics are all represented in various ways.
Some are government-run, while others operate as for-profit or non-profit businesses in the private sector. Regulators, both voluntary and governmental, are also part of the health-care industry. Even though these individuals and organizations are together referred to as "the health care delivery system," the phrase implies a level of order, integration, and responsibility that does not exist.
The ability of these different entities to communicate, collaborate, or plan systems is severely limited. However, for the sake of clarity, the committee refers to the health-care delivery system. Healthcare in the United States is widely recognized as the best in the world, as is the biological and translational research that supports it. Despite this, according to Buerhaus, Skinner, Auerbach, and Staiger (2017), the country's massive health-care spending has not resulted in better health outcomes for its population.
The institutions that finance, organize, and provide healthcare have inherent faults. Fundamental flaws in the systems that finance, organize, and deliver health care are eroding the organizational structure needed to ensure that scientific advancements are effectively translated into routine patient care, and many facets of the health-care delivery system are financially vulnerable.

Quality measurements allow hospitals to compare their performance to that of their peers and give insurers and consumers a common criterion to assess hospital quality. The contractor for the Measures Management System is Battelle. As a result, the organization oversees the Quality Measures Blueprint, which advises contractors on how to design quality measures. Battelle manages the measures collection and trains developers and other users on the design and usage of measurements.
Outcome measurements give a broad picture of how a hospital's performance has changed over time and how much it compares to its peers.
