Arah et al., (2003) revealed performance indicators for monitoring, assessing and management of the healthcare systems to enhance equity, effectiveness, efficiency, and quality. The study explored conceptual bases and quality improvement dynamics of the performance frameworks among others. The results indicated supportive frameworks used in different health care settings with different concepts and operations. The improvement was realized regarding efficiency, equity, effectiveness which are elements of quality. Thus, it is the work of the management to identify the different problems and defining proper means of addressing them. This article is critical in the development of literature review for the study.

One of the elements that ensure improved performance in hospital setup is accreditation of the facility by the government. El-Jardali and the colleague (2008) affirm this aspect in their study on the impacts of accreditation on quality of care. This is a tool that is typically applied by the government to assess the quality improvement. Therefore, the article is of great benefit to the current study since it reveals the government regulations that are usually in place to safeguard quality. The article will enable the literature review to be more informative on the different aspects of regulations and accreditation standards that are relevant in regards to quality improvement.

Hospital quality performance is required for the public. The information regarding the performance when availed in the public domain enhances trust as well as build reputation. Hibbard, Stockard, and Tusler (2003) noted that publishing hospital performance is a way of stimulating its workers to improve quality. This result was deduced based on the public versus private release of information on performance. Thus, it is the role of risk manager to ensure that all the performance of the hospital is released to the public to ensure that risks of poor performance are avoided. Therefore, the authors affirmed that more value on performance is typically added when information is released to the public. Therefore, the article is relevant for the current study since it highlights the role of staff in ensuring minimization of risks regarding quality.
