The nature, kind, or character of someone or something.
The nature, kind or character of someone or something; hence, the degree or grade of excellence possessed by the person or thing. Quality may be measured: with respect to individual medical services, the various services received by individual or groups of patients, individual or groups of providers, or health programs or facilities; in terms of technical competence, humanity, need, acceptability, appropriateness, inputs, structure, process, or outcomes; using standards, criteria, norms, or direct quantitative or qualitative measures. To avoid the frequent vagueness of the term it is thus necessary to specify who or what is being considered, what aspect of it is being measured, and how it is being assessed.
A characteristic of somebody or something.
The general standard or grade of something.
The highest or finest standard.
Specification of the penetrating ability of a beam of x rays. Beam quality is expressed in terms of half-value layer where greater penetrating ability characterizes a beam as “harder” while less energy results in a beam being described as “softer.”
That which constitutes or characterizes a thing; the natural character.
