	Oregon Hospital Quality Indicators Overview
		The quality of a hospital includes everything from subjective measures such as how satisfied patients are with the care they receive to objective measures such as how many patients leave the hospital alive.
		While most people would agree that knowing more about the quality of hospital care is vitally important -- particularly to individuals trying to make the best health care decisions for themselves and their families -- the standards by which we measure that quality remain elusive.
		The quality of care provided in a hospital is influenced by how well its doctors, nurses, support staff, and management team work together, as well as by the availability of technology and other resources.
