Some common metrics include: - Patient Recovery Rates: Measuring how quickly and effectively patients recover from illnesses or surgical procedures. - Infection Rates: Tracking the incidence of healthcare-associated infections in clinical settings. - Patient Satisfaction Scores: Collecting feedback from patients regarding their care experience. - Readmission Rates: Monitoring the frequency of patients being readmitted for the same condition within a specific period. - Clinical Indicators: Using specific health indicators like blood pressure, glucose levels, and heart rate to assess patient health.
