AB It  is  widely  recognized  that  the  US  health  care  system  does  not  provide  every  American  with  the  quality  of  care  they  deserve.  Broad  gaps  in  quality  were  documented  in  a  recent  report  from  the  Institute  of  Medicine1  and  in  studies  showing  that  children  receive  less  than  half  of  recommended  acute,  preventive,  and  chronic  care.2  The  Institute  of  Medicine  proposed  a  set  of  6  expectations  that  high-performing  health  care  should  achieve—safety,  effectiveness,  patient-centeredness,  timeliness,  efficiency,  and  equity—and  described  steps  to  promote  more  evidence-based  practice.
