Note: Should the scores on the Quality Indicators be 100 percent all the time? This is the goal strived for and many times achieved. However, at times it is important not to be 100 percent. For instance, if a person is allergic to the recommended antibiotic, one should not be given it. Another example is after discussing benefits, risks, and alternatives with the patient, the patient decides not to receive the recommended medicine or treatment. These examples would be reflected as a score lower than 100 percent.
