The Medical Outcomes Study

The Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) is a research project designed to assess how health conditions and treatments affect people's quality of life. It uses surveys to measure physical, mental, and social well-being, helping healthcare providers understand the impact of different illnesses and interventions on daily functioning. By capturing patients’ perspectives, MOS aims to improve healthcare strategies, ensuring they address not just medical symptoms but also overall well-being. Its findings guide improvements in healthcare delivery, making sure that treatments support both health and quality of life.
