Which of the following are components of the STEEEP framework?

• A. Safe
• B. Patient-centered
• C. Efficient
• D. Timely

Answer: (B)

The STEEEP framework outlines six dimensions of healthcare quality. Each dimension targets a different aspect of care: Safe means avoiding harm; Timely reduces delays in care; Efficient uses resources wisely; Effective delivers care that achieves the right outcomes; Equitable ensures fair access and results for all groups; and Patient-centered focuses on respecting and responding to individual patient preferences and needs.

Among the options, Safe, Timely, Efficient, and Patient-centered are all part of STEEEP. The complete framework also includes Equitable and Effective. So those four options are correct components, with two additional domains that complete the full set.
