What are the criteria for selecting an outcome measure?
When selecting an outcome measure, the criteria includes that the outcome should be clinically meaningful, that the patient group to whom the measure applies and the patient group for whom conformance is achieved are clearly defined and clinically meaningful, that exceptions and exclusions are supported by evidence, that the measure is reproducible across organizations and delivery settings, that the measure has face validity, content validity, and construct validity, that the data required for the measure can be obtained with reasonable effort and cost, and that actionable parties are held accountable for the care process or outcome with low likelihood of negative unintended consequences.
