An outcome is the result of a health treatment or surgery.
Hospitals report on key outcomes, such as:
- Low mortality rates.
- Surgical infections.
- Hospital readmissions.
- Length of stay.
But people who have major health treatments may also want more detailed outcomes for certain issues. These might include open heart surgery, a total joint replacement, or pediatric interventions.
