The level of value provided by any health care resource, as determined by some measurement, is referred to as health care quality. It is an assessment of whether something is good enough and suitable for its purpose, much like quality in other fields. The goal of health care is to provide high-quality medical resources to all who require them; that is, to ensure good quality of life, cure illnesses when possible, and extend life expectancy, among other things. Researchers attempt to determine health care quality using a variety of quality measures, such as counts of a therapy's reduction or lessening of diseases identified by medical diagnosis, a decrease in the number of risk factors that people have following preventive care, or a survey. Adolescent health, also known as youth health, refers to a variety of approaches to preventing, detecting, and treating the health and well-being of adolescents. Adolescent health exists at the intersection of many forces, many of which are beyond the control of the individual young people, even though adolescence represents a life stage of increasing psychosocial independence but limited legal and social rights (for those who have not reached the legal age of adulthood where they reside). Some young people may have a history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), or they may be actively residing in or undergoing ACEs. According to the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, ACEs are common and are associated with poor physical health outcomes (ischemic heart disease, cancer, chronic lung disease) in adults. The outcome, technical performance of the care, and interpersonal relationships can all be used to assess the quality of health care provided by a health professional. The term "outcome" refers to a change in a patient's health, such as a reduction in pain, relapses, or death rates. Individual medical providers can have large differences in outcomes, and large groups, such as low- and high-volume doctors, can have smaller differences. Significant efforts have been made to improve healthcare quality outcomes, including clinical practise guidelines, cost efficiency, critical pathways, and risk management. Clinical Practice Recommendation the extent to which a health professional adhered to the best practises established by medical guidelines is referred to as "technical performance. Clinical practise guidelines, also known as medical practise guidelines, are scientifically based protocols that help providers follow a "best practise" approach when providing care for a specific health condition. Standardizing medical practise improves care quality while also promoting lower costs and better outcomes. The assumption is that providers who follow medical guidelines provide the best care and have the best chance of a positive outcome. Technical performance is judged from a quality standpoint without regard to the actual outcome; for example, if a physician follows the guidelines but a patient's health does not improve, the quality of the "technical performance" is still high by this standard. Management of Risk management is concerned with avoiding medical malpractice and consists of "proactive efforts to prevent adverse events related to clinical care." Because health care professionals are not immune to lawsuits, health care organisations have taken steps to establish protocols designed specifically to reduce malpractice litigation. Concerns about malpractice can lead to defensive medicine or the threat of malpractice litigation, which can jeopardise patient safety and care by inducing additional testing or treatments. Ordering costly imaging, which can be wasteful, is a common form of defensive medicine. Other defensive behaviour’s, on the other hand, may actually reduce access to care and pose physical harm risks. .
