Book Overview

Clinical vignettes illustrate the application of outcomes to clinical decision-making. Five clinical questions provide a framework for assessing patient outcomes: How confident can I be in a patient's measured value? What does the measured value mean? What is the interpretation of a measured change value? What is the expected terminal goal value for the outcome of interest? What is the ideal reassessment interval?
