What an Outcome Is
Captions available
The idea
In healthcare an outcome is a health-status result for patients, measured at two or more time points, and attributable to the care given together with patient and environmental factors.
In practice
Blood pressure recorded before an intervention and again after it.
Where people slip
Two or more time points is part of the definition. A single measurement is a description, not an outcome.
