Discussions included basic principles and methods of quality assessment and management; the varied perspectives of quality from individual stakeholders; current tools for quality assessment; challenges and barriers to advancing quality over the long term; and the evolving clinical, institutional, business, and governmental strategies that will drive the future of quality and performance measures.
