How is success measured in the DaVita Quality Index (DQI)?

Success in the DaVita Quality Index (DQI) is measured through continuous improvement in disease management. This focus emphasizes the importance of providing high-quality care that enhances patient outcomes and overall health management. By prioritizing disease management, DaVita ensures that patients receive the necessary support and resources for effectively managing their conditions, which can lead to reduced complications, better health status, and improved quality of life.

The DQI assesses various metrics that reflect the effectiveness of care provided to patients, looking at how well clinics manage chronic conditions and the extent to which they help patients adhere to treatment protocols. This approach fosters a healthcare environment centered on patient need and clinical excellence rather than merely competing clinic performance or cost measures, which are less indicative of patient health outcomes.
