Summary
This chapter establishes a basic vocabulary in measuring outcomes as the first step in getting started to measure. It then outlines the steps in getting started: 1. identifying the cohort or segment; 2) gathering baseline data (retrospectively and prospectively); and 3. identifying the outcomes that matter most to people. It also addresses where to start based on if you are a clinician or health care administrator either from a provider organization or payer organization.A table is included that describes the different types of data and data sources that can be used for baseline data gathering as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.
