Abstract

During the past few years there has been significant interest in studying methods that document outcomes of medical care. Outcomes management should result in higher quality health care at lower cost. However, what does outcomes research mean and how does it apply to dermatology and specifically to the individual dermatologist? This article reviews the evolution of medical outcomes research and presents the status of the current instruments, indices, and methods.
