Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Measuring outcomes has become an essential part of quality improvement efforts. An outcomes management program can contribute to quality activities through the identification and quantification of outcomes and variances that can serve as performance measures. The COMIT model is highlighted as a process that can be used by multidisciplinary teams to promote outcome improvement. In addition, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations functions and their relationship to an outcomes management effort are presented.
