*Categorized according to the Donabedian Structure, Process, and Outcome model of care. Structure refers to characteristics of the setting in which care occurs, this includes material resources, human resources, and organizational structure. Process refers to the actual giving and receiving of care including both the patient seeking out care and the providers activities in making diagnosis and treatment decisions. Outcome refers to the effects of care on the patient and/or population including the patient’s satisfaction with care[59].
