INDICATORS/OBJECTIVES
SOME CONSIDERATIONS
• There must be alignment of objectives from health policy-
makers to clinical practice.
• We have several tools to do that:
ü Public Health Services portfolio definition.
ü Establish healthcare system goals.
ü Accreditation.
ü Contract objectives, purchasing incentives.
ü Accountability (healthcare system results publicly shared).
• And closing the circle: improve practices adjusting again and
again our activity to reach those goals.
