What does DQI stand for?

• A. DaVita Quality Index
• B. Dialysis Quality Indicator
• C. DaVita Quality Measure
• D. Dialysis Quality Index

Answer: (A)

DQI is a branded performance metric used by DaVita to capture overall quality across care processes in one score. The term stands for DaVita Quality Index, which is DaVita’s specific naming for this composite metric. The other options either use generic terms (Dialysis) or replace DaVita with a generic term (Indicator or Measure) and thus don’t reflect the official nomenclature DaVita uses. Thinking of it as a single index helps explain why it’s valued: it combines multiple quality areas into one overall score to guide unit performance and improvement.
