Abstract
The paper explores ways of how measurable indicators of quality of health care might be specified in health care contracts of NHS providers. The paper assesses the likelihood of defining formal outcome-related indicators. If outcome-related indicators are not measurable, then process or input-related quality indicators should be used as a second best choice. These should have certain desirable properties. The paper spells out these properties and points to examples.Keywords
