About the Authors

Complementing existing literature on measuring health outcomes that is largely conceptual, this book focuses on simple, practical advice for measuring outcomes in a variety of settings. Written in an engaging conversational tone, readers will learn why measuring health outcomes is necessary in clinical practice and how these measures may vary between people and across care structures. Covering how to identify measurements as well as collect and analyze the data, the chapters lead readers through a series of logical steps to scaling up a measurement program. The workbook style allows readers to record their own notes and thoughts throughout the book, while the list of action steps at the end of chapters are tangible starting points for developing a measurement program of their own. Explores how to measure and think about outcomes in a way that sees the whole person, not just the medical or behavioral condition they have.
- Presents readers with a series of logical steps to begin their journey as chapters cover why health outcomes should be measured, how to identify different measurements, how to collect and analyse outcome data, and how to use this newfound knowledge to create large-scale programs
- An engaging and conversational tone combined with a workbook style layout ensures that readers will absorb information more easily and can record their own notes along with the guidance
- Drawing on the author's extensive experience of assisting teams and individuals measure health outcomes, practical action steps are given at the end of chapters, providing a pathway for readers to develop a measurement program of their own
