Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on health care cost and quality. Health care quality is said to be judged subjectively, according to the standards of an individual or an organization. Donabedian (n.d.) identified three determinants of the overall quality of health care: structure of care, referring to the qualifications of health care providers and characteristics of facilities. the process of care or the manner health care is provided. and outcome of care, or effectiveness of the care provided. It is contended that without the existence of these three, it is not possible to achieve a high quality of health care.

In health care, cost and quality possess a certain relationship, where cost does not always equate to quality.
