The components of effectiveness are organized around eight clinical areas. Naturally, some measures will cross components; for example, receipt of discharge instructions for heart failure is related to effectiveness of heart disease care as well as care coordination. For the purposes of this document, measures with clinical context are presented with the effectiveness measures. Other measure sets describe health care delivery and systems issues and are discussed together. This document is intended to serve as an “index” so that readers can focus on women’s health measures of interest and then refer to the primary reports for detailed information. New analyses of other measures are not included, but additional measures and data can be identified.
