Quoting Gawande's article "The Bell Curve": $"$To fix medicine, Berwick maintained, we need to do two things: measure ourselves and be more open about what we are doing. This meant routinely comparing the performance of doctors and hospitals, looking at everything from complication rates to how often a drug ordered for a patient is delivered correctly and on time."

It doesn't do any good to just measure things; what matters is what you measure, and what you do with the data once you get it$.$ How should the measures be used $($among other uses$)-$ what would be the highest priority?
