Why Quality Matters

Services and Experience
Many clinics and hospitals perform a wide range of general care for individuals and families. Others focus on a particular type of patient (such as veterans or children) or specialty area (such as cancer or heart disease). And others — including MeritCare — offer many specialty areas.
Experience is another important indicator of healthcare quality. Whether you're seeking primary care or facing a complex procedure, you want to know that the healthcare professional routinely offers the care and is prepared for any possible complications.
Indicators of services and experience include:
- Whether the healthcare organization has specialists in a care area
- The number of similar procedures the healthcare professional has performed in the past year
- Accreditations earned by healthcare professionals
- The healthcare professional's success rates with the procedure
- Innovative approaches and techniques the healthcare organization may offer
