Preferred term

outcomes-based accreditation  

Definition(s)

  • Outcomes-based accreditation is an objective, data-driven process of externally evaluating providers, healthcare facilities, or health plans through the use of performance measures. Risk-adjusted outcome measures, such as mortality, quality of life, patient functional ability, and patient satisfaction, are used to compare among providers of care and healthcare organizations to make choosing a provider more meaningful to patients since patients are ultimately concerned about their health outcomes.
