In its 2001 report, “Crossing the Quality Chasm,” the Institute of Medicine Health Care Quality Initiative reported a large gap in the quality of care that Americans receive compared to the evidence base for good clinical care.

In response, private sector healthcare purchasers, Congress, physician organizations, and others have launched many new initiatives and programs, each seeking to improve the quality of health care and the “efficiency” of clinical services provided in the United States.
