There are various methods and tools available for monitoring patient outcomes:
Clinical Indicators These are measurable elements of practice performance for which there is evidence or consensus that they can be used to assess the quality and safety of care. Examples include blood pressure, glucose levels, and infection rates.
Patient-Reported Outcomes These are reports coming directly from patients about how they feel or function in relation to a health condition and its therapy. Tools such as questionnaires and surveys are often used to gather this information.
Electronic Health Records (EHR) EHR systems are invaluable for tracking patient outcomes over time. They provide comprehensive data that can be used to analyze trends and make informed decisions about patient care.
