What we talk about when we talk about quality of care

The concept of quality of care in health policy has been receiving increased attention over the last couple of decades. The literature on quality of care has increased three-fold since the 1990s. Most recently, quality of care is mentioned in the context of the sustainable development goals. Despite this universal acceptance of its importance, however, there is not a common understanding of what quality of care actually is and what it entails, let alone what needs to be done to improve it.
