Outcomes Management: Applications to Clinical Practice

Rating:
Summary: Finally ! A book with substance!
Review: Finally a book with practical applications to the reality that is healthcare today. Most of the outcomes materials written to day do not translate to the real pace, resources or personnel that are striving to produce actual measure of clincial outcomes.There has been so much hype,distorted measurements and manipulated statistical techniques applied to outcomes research that most of us almost wince when we hear about a new way/term to measure! This book is written for the novice to the experienced practitioner and offers new ideas and practical insight to both.It should be a text book for anyone intersted in the true measure of the work of healthcare. It is invaluable to understand how to communicate the results of outcomes research- this book provides thoughtful insight into speaking to consumers, payors and others about outcomes. This book will give you a great start if you are new and keep you current and relevant if you are experienced!
