Deutsches Ärzteblatt 102, Ausgabe 36 vom 09.09.2005, Seite A-2380 / B-2005 / C-1898 THEMEN DER ZEIT Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) , US Department of Health & Human Services . Outcomes Research , Fact Sheet , AHRQ Publication No. 00-P011 , March 2000 . AHRQ, Rockville , MD. USA . „Outcomes research seeks to understand the end results of particular health care practices and interventions . End results include effects that people experience and care about , such as change in the ability to function . In particular , for individuals with chronic conditions-where cure is not always possible-end results include quality of life as well as mortality . By linking the care people get to the outcomes they experience , outcomes research has become the key to developing better ways to monitor and improve the quality of care . Supporting improvements in health outcomes is a strategic goal of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ( AHRQ , formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research ) .“ Medizin und Naturwissenschaft |
