Preferred term

outcome measures  

Definition

  • Functional disability and quality of life are key outcomes that influence patients' demand for care, as well as their compliance and satisfaction with treatment. Over the past few decades, there has been a shift from traditional physician-focused assessment, with its dependence on physiological and radiological measurement, toward methods based on the belief that patients can provide accurate and meaningful assessments of their own health.
