AbstractThe third of a series on the Institute of Medicine study on a quality review and assurance program for Medicare, this article describes findings on two separate series of focus groups held with Medicare beneficiaries and with physicians in private practice. The respondents' perceptions of quality of care, understanding of the Medicare program and QA activities, and recommendations for improvement are reported directly and examined for implications for designing a coherent QA strategy. A surprising finding is that both beneficiaries and physicians define quality of care in terms of the "art of care" as well as in technical and clinical terms.
