Outcomes research took hold in the late 1980s. Because of the rising costs of health care, policymakers demanded an objective analysis of treatments and interventions as demonstrated by cost-effective patient outcomes. More recently, outcomes management programs have surfaced. In contrast to outcomes research, which is concerned with effectiveness, outcomes management is concerned with efficiency. Therefore, this one concept, outcomes, has moved in two related but different directions. Understanding outcomes from both the research and management perspectives is a challenge facing the nursing profession.
结果研究在20世纪80年代后期开始兴起。由于医疗保健成本不断上升，政策制定者要求对治疗方法和干预措施进行客观分析，以具有成本效益的患者结果来体现。最近，结果管理项目已经出现。与关注有效性的结果研究不同，结果管理关注的是效率。因此，结果这一概念朝着两个相关但不同的方向发展。从研究和管理两个角度理解结果是护理专业面临的一项挑战。
