title: Outcomes measurement across the continuum of care.
abstract: Outcomes management can only be truly achieved if it is conducted using data obtained from every possible care delivery site--the entire continuum of care. The author emphasizes that designing the most appropriate information infrastructure for an integrated health system requires a thorough understanding of the needs of the organization as reflected in its strategic business goals and objectives.
