Improving patient outcomes is something that every healthcare practice seeks to achieve. However, improvement does not occur without effective outcome measures in healthcare. Working diligently to achieve success levels requires prioritizing measurement essentials.
The three outcomes measurements are:
- Transparency
- Integrated care
- Interoperability
When used together, improvements and sustainability happen with outcome measurement efforts. A data-driven culture accepts data transparency. Integrated care treats the whole patient. An interoperable system enables seamless exchanges of information within the healthcare environment.
- Transparency in Data Reporting
One way to reassure patients that they are receiving the best possible care is through publicly reported outcomes. This journey continues in the healthcare industry through quality reporting organizations. More data transparency in safety and quality helps patients make decisions about the healthcare they receive.
- Integrated Care Services
Another shift in the healthcare industry is toward integrated services. A key component of integrating care is helping patients transition through each step of their treatment. Transitional points of care provide consistency with patients receiving the right care at the right time.
- Data Sharing within Integrated Systems
Outcome measures in healthcare also depend on the ability to share data between departments. This means labs, clinics, pharmacies, clinicians and other staff involved in patient care have access to a single source.
