Outcomes Research: An Overview and the Implications for Health Informaticians
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: Outcomes research is a major topic of discussion relative to professional practice and education. Combining outcomes research and evidence based practice can provide a structure for the improvement of the cost/quality ratio in healthcare and hence should be a major factor in health informatics education and practice. As healthcare organizations begin to adopt electronic medical record systems and information management systems to increase efficiency and improve quality of care, attention must be paid to the elements of an information system that will allow for data collection to examine outcomes, effectiveness, and performance monitoring. This poster provides an overview of outcomes research definitions, methods, and criticisms, and explores the implications for the design and management of information systems to facilitate valid and valuable outcomes research.
