More than results
Patient outcomes can best be defined as the point where the perspective of the patient and the healthcare provider intersect. More than simply an evaluation of whether a procedure or treatment can be pronounced a textbook success, patient outcomes measure that success against the expectations, satisfaction, and quality of life of patients, their families, friends, and caregivers. Through our research and technology we seek to better understand and translate knowledge of this complex concept to help patients, providers, and policymakers make informed health decisions.
