What Are Clinical Outcomes?

Clinical outcomes are measurable changes in health or quality of life that result from the care a healthcare organization provides on a daily basis. Identifying and measuring these agreed-upon clinical outcomes establishes standards against which to continuously improve all aspects of a clinical practice or hospital. Common clinical outcomes that healthcare organizations and hospitals seek to measure and improve upon include the following:

• Mortality rate
• Safety of care
• Readmissions
• Patient experience and satisfaction
• Timeliness of care
• Hourly rounding

Why Should Clinical Performance Be Focused On Outcomes?

The measuring, reporting and improvement of clinical outcomes help healthcare organizations:

• Improve patient safety.
• Exceed patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
• Boost the health and care of the community.
• Make data-informed decisions for service improvements.
• Reduce the per capita cost of healthcare.
• Prevent clinician and staff burnout.
• And much more.
