Abstract
A theoretical model of quality, based on an organismic worldview, provides a framework for understanding health care quality. This retroductively developed model incorporates ethical and economic concepts: value, beneficence, prudence, and justice. The model supports viewing patients and families as equal partners with providers in defining, evaluating, and achieving health care quality. Further model development can generate mid-range theories useful for improving quality in an ethical and economic manner.Keywords
