title: Information systems for the outcomes movement.
abstract: Outcomes research, measurement, and management have become hot topics well beyond the realm of the academic medical research community that first popularized the concept. While the ultimate outcomes information system will be some time in coming, it is nevertheless possible to foresee the day when patients, providers, and payers can finally answer the questions, What are our health care options? What are results of those practices? and how can we do better.
