Summary

This chapter describes different ways to identify outcome measures once the outcomes that matter most are identified. These outcome measures can be used to see if outcomes are improving or not. The chapter also gives an example of how to organize chosen outcome measures using the Capability, Comfort, and Calm framework. Guiding principles for narrowing an outcome measure set to a small set of actionable measures are outlined.
