Abstract
Performance improvement requires establishing a platform to set benchmarks and monitor the quality of care provided through quality indicators and metrics. This has long been recognized as critical to overall quality improvement and more recently, has become federally mandated. Here, we review recent studies evaluating performance in head and neck cancer care, from those spanning all phases of head and neck cancer care to others focused on head and neck surgical performance, including both national and departmental/institutional efforts.
