Patient Outcome

Patient outcome refers to the results or changes in a person's health after receiving medical care or treatment. It reflects how well a patient recovers, manages symptoms, or improves overall health, and can include factors like recovery, quality of life, or the resolution of symptoms. Good outcomes mean the patient feels better, functions normally, or reaches their health goals, while poor outcomes may involve ongoing health issues or complications. Evaluating patient outcomes helps healthcare providers assess the effectiveness of treatments and improve future care.
