Health outcomes refer to the end results or consequences of a person's health status, care and treatment. It is an assessment of how well a patient responds to medical intervention in terms of their physical, mental and social well-being. Health outcomes can be measured by various factors such as mortality rates, morbidity rates, quality of life, functional ability, and health related behaviors. The goal of medicine is not only to treat illness but also improve the overall health outcomes for patients through prevention, early detection, and effective management of chronic conditions.
