The collection of health indicators typically involves several methods:
Electronic Health Records (EHRs): These provide a comprehensive view of a patient's health history and are a rich source of data. Surveys and Questionnaires: Used to collect data directly from patients about their experiences and satisfaction. Administrative Data: Includes billing information, discharge summaries, and other operational data. Clinical Audits: Regular audits of clinical practices and outcomes to ensure adherence to standards and guidelines.
