Choosing the right Metrics
The Donabedian Model,
Avedis Donabedian, 1980
Structure Measures: refer to the environment in which care is delivered - a facility’s organisation and resources. “What do you have?”
Process Measures: refer to the techniques and processes used to treat patients. “What do you do?”
Outcome Measures: refer to the consequences of the patient’s interaction with the healthcare system. “Does it work?”
Meaningful: Does the measure reflect a process that is clinically important? Is there evidence supporting the measure?
