Some of the problems facing evaluators of medical care have been dealt with by individuals examining mental health programs. Mental health research has focused more on outcome studies that include a multidimensional approach in evaluation. Techniques have been devised in that field that make the evaluative process patient specific and goal oriented. Borrowing some of these methods to make medical care evaluation include a problem-oriented outcome, which incorporates patient satisfaction, compliance with medical therapy, and relief of symptoms, could lead to more accurate data on the health delivery system.
医疗保健评估者所面临的一些问题已由研究心理健康项目的人员进行了处理。心理健康研究更多地聚焦于结果研究，这些研究在评估中采用了多维方法。该领域已设计出一些技术，使评估过程针对患者个体且以目标为导向。借鉴其中一些方法以使医疗保健评估纳入以问题为导向的结果，该结果包含患者满意度、对药物治疗的依从性以及症状缓解情况，这可能会产生关于医疗服务体系的更准确数据。
