Main Results:

Patient-related outcomes are the results or effects of care processes.
Clinical outcomes are less historically documented and are a focus of current efforts.
Health care shifts necessitate outcome data collection across various sites.

Conclusions:

Standardizing outcome terminology is essential for accurate health care documentation and trending.
New strategies are required to capture outcome data across the entire patient care continuum.
Understanding diverse outcome dimensions (clinical, financial, traditional) is key for effective health care evaluation.
