Outcomes vs. Processes You really don't want to measure outcomes - you want to measure the processes that improve outcomes. Example: Measuring the infection rate of a particular hospital-acquired infection (HAI) does not capture the processes that reduce all HAIs. Challenges include the variability of processes and the emeasure challenges associated with measuring processes.
