摘要：
Quality is a much used word in health care. It clearly has positive connotations. Yet there is less than clarity in the literature as ta what it means. This article suggests that quality has to have something to do with 'goodness' and indeed 'betterment'. It then argues that it follows that quality cannot be defined before we have: sorted out 'good' and 'better', The author appears for these terms to be defined.
