Abstract

Clinical outcomes management includes multiple approaches for evaluating and improving the quality and cost effectiveness of medical care. The usefulness of outcomes assessments depends, in part, on how well the clinical issues have been specified and whether the analyses are sensitive to the diverse clinical characteristics of the patients receiving the medical care in question. Measures of severity of illness and, in particular, Disease Staging, have an important role in outcomes assessment by classifying diseases along dimensions that have prognostic significance. This article reviews current applications of Disease Staging for outcomes assessment and management.
