<h1>Mejorando la calidad de la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica</h1>
<h2>Gu&iacute;a para los pacientes y las familias</h2>
<p>Este folleto presenta informaci&oacute;n y una lista de recursos para ayudarle a obtener mejor calidad de atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica. Puede leer el folleto completo o las secciones que sean de su inter&eacute;s:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qntlitesp.htm">Que afecta la calidad de la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica y que deber hacer usted</a>.</li>
<li><a href="qntlitesp2.htm">Como se eval&uacute;a la calidad de la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica</a>.</li>

<li><a href="qntlitesp4.htm">Como usted puede tomar decisiones sustentadas con relaci&oacute;n a la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica</a>.</li>

<p>Cada d&iacute;a, millones de norteamericanos reciben atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica de alta calidad. Obtienen la atenci&oacute;n apropiada, cuando la necesitan, de la manera indicada con los mejores resultados posibles.</p>
<p>Pero de vez en cuando, algo sale mal. Las personas reciben servicios m&eacute;dicos que no necesitan o no pueden obtener la atenci&oacute;n cuando la necesitan. En ocasiones, las personas resultan afectadas por errores m&eacute;dicos que podr&iacute;an haberse evitado. Un error médico es una equivocaci&oacute;n que sucede mientras un paciente recibe atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica.</p>
<p>El hecho es que la calidad de la atenci&oacute;n m&eacute;dica var&iacute;a. Hay muchas razones por las cuales sucede esto, porque la calidad depende de muchas cosas, incluyendo d&oacute;nde vive el paciente, qui&eacute;n es y cu&aacute;nto se sabe acerca del tratamiento de su padecimiento.</p>
