Outcomes measurement

Article Abstract:

Outcomes measurement in health care is the collection and analysis of data which identify the results of medical care and measure the efficiency and effectiveness of patient care services. Both financial and patient-related outcomes are important to consider in reviewing health care processes and results. Outcomes measurement, carefully designed, can effectively identify the contributions of nurses, physicians, and other health care staff to optimal patient care.
