These are performance measures to help determine the impact on the patient's health status:

1. Initial Health Status - This is the measure of the risk-adjusted health status of the person prior to a determined timeframe, a new mission (Care Goals), a new strategy (Care Plan) or a new solution (intervention). The will be the baseline used to measure the health outcome.
2. Health Mission (Care Goals)
3. Health Strategy
Objectives (Care Plan)

• List of Objectives - examples include lower Hemoglobin A1c, lower blood pressure, loss weight, increase physical activity, etc.

Solutions (Interventions) - The solutions are how the Health Mission and Health Strategy - Objectives will be achiveved. Examples include medication, weight loss program, patient's commitment to 10,000 steps per day.

• List of Interventions including Medical Interventions and Non-Medical Interventions

Measures

• Objective Measures - These are measures that will demonstrate progress toward achieving the health mission. This is the list of measures (i.e., pain levels, function levels, blood sugar levels) that will be used to measure progress of the startegy objectives toward achieving the health mission.
  • Objective Measurement Timeframes - These are the times when progress will be measures
  • Objective Measurement Baseline - This is the initial measures that will be used to measure the health outcome of the strategy objectives.
• Solution Measures - These are measures that will demonstrate progress toward achieving the health mission. This is the list of measures (i.e., pain levels, function levels, blood sugar levels) that will be used to measure progress of the startegy objectives toward achieving the health mission.
  • Solution Measurement Timeframes - These are the times when progress will be measures
  • Solution Measurement Baseline - This is the initial measures that will be used to measure the health outcome of the strategy objectives.
