Quality of health care in the United States: A chartbook

This chartbook is based on more than 150 published studies and reports about quality of care.

This first-of-its-kind portrait of the state of health care quality in the United States documents serious gaps in quality on many crucial dimensions of care: lack of preventive care, medical mistakes, substandard care for chronic conditions, and health care disparities.
