OUTCOME BASED HEALTH CARE: JOURNEY THAT HAS STARTED

Dr Shashikant Sharma

Abstract :

Let me tell you a borrowed story “A friend of mine loves to hike and was telling me about a fancy one-legged stool he carries around with him. He explained that he only really needs one leg; packing three-legged stools causes extra weight. While this mentality might work for time spent on the trail, it doesn’t hold up when it comes to measuring healthcare outcomes—I’d choose the balanced stability offered by the three-legged variety any day”. Similarly, healthcare systems shouldn’t rely on the single “leg” of outcomes measures to improve quality and costs, even though these metrics are plentiful. In addition, we must create a solid foundation of evidence-based outcome & process measures that provide more granular data, and then stabilize these metrics with balance measures, to help drive better outcomes.
