Legal Aspects of Healthcare
Outcome measures are specific criteria or metrics used to assess the effectiveness of healthcare services and interventions based on the results they achieve for patients. They provide quantifiable data that can indicate improvements in health status, quality of life, or overall satisfaction with care. By focusing on patient-centered results, outcome measures play a critical role in evaluating the performance of healthcare systems, particularly in integrated care models like Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
