Özet:

The standards developed for measuring quality ensure the management of the dynamic structure of health services, the reduction of uncertainties, and the prevention of errors since quality relies on measurement, evaluation, and continuous improvement. Additionally, the models used in measuring health service quality are divided into two: case-based and indicator-based. Using the document analysis method, this study compared the Joint Commission International (JCI), Healthcare Quality Standards (HQS) and Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) – Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) models, which are included in the indicator-based health quality measurement models, in terms of the concepts, processes, and standards featured in them. Within the scope of the study, a total of 1,141 standards from all three models were examined. Ethical approval was taken from local ethics committee on 10/08/2020. Upon the comparison, it was understood that the HQS and JCI models were more similar in "presence rates" than the HIMSS-EMRAM model in terms of concept (83%), process (66%), and standard (64%). It was concluded that HIMSS EMRAM standards can be used as a very useful tool for making improvements and identifying deficiencies in HQS and JCI processes.
