Description

Explore the complex nature of quality in healthcare with this academic text from Springer. While healthcare professionals frequently discuss Quality-of-life (QoL) as a goal for improvement, the concept often lacks a clear definition despite being regularly assessed. This book addresses the fundamental questions surrounding QoL assessment in medically ill patients. Readers will examine whether QoL should be compared to an ideal state or if its subjective and personal nature makes it difficult to gauge. The text looks at how a better understanding of these concepts can help health care systems deliver services more effectively. By integrating perspectives from psychology, philosophy, and neurocognition, this work examines whether QoL is worth measuring and how those measurements impact medical practice. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the theoretical and practical applications of quality assessment in a clinical setting.
