Summary

This chapter discusses how to grow an outcome measurement team in a single clinical practice and covers how outcome measurement can look at scale within larger organizations that have built capabilities to leverage their electronic health records for data collection and analytics. The key steps of data management functions are referenced again to illustrate how these functions can be deployed at scale to measure outcomes. Key personnel needed to support outcome measurement at scale are also explained. Considerations for sharing data with broad audiences is described, specifically the stages of data acceptance are reviewed. Governance and leadership considerations are briefly referenced. The primary audience for this chapter is health care administrators who want to start measuring outcomes in their organization or support existing efforts.
