Key result
Perioperative outcomes research expands to include nontraditional patient-centered measures and emerging data approaches.
Why the study?
Outcomes research in perioperative medicine and anesthesiology has traditionally focused on clinical patient outcomes but is now expanding to include nontraditional patient-related outcomes and new evaluation approaches.
The development of outcomes research is a reflection of economic and societal forces that determine the appropriateness, value, and quality of health care in the United States. Outcomes research encompasses many aspects of patient care, and incorporates many types of data and data-analysis. Although outcomes measurements include many facets of patient-related assessments, the field of perioperative medicine and anesthesiology traditionally has focused on clinically related patient outcomes. Outcomes research in perioperative medicine has begun to focus on nontraditional measurements of patient-related outcomes and on different approaches of evaluating new data and technologies.
