We are nursing students, looking for real examples of outcome management in nursing. In managing outcomes, the information derived from measuring client outcomes is collected, trends are identified, and appropriate care needs are determined to improve care. The goals of outcome management are quality improvement and risk reduction. We've learned that outcome management takes a multidisciplinary team. Various factors influence outcomes which results in difficulty analyzing such information.

Who are all the members involved in the multidisciplinary process surrounding outcome management. What is your role?
What methods have been most effective for you and your coworkers to determine and evaluate patient outcomes?
Based on outcomes determined by feedback, what does it take to address issues identified?(How many cases must bring attention to an issue before other interventions occur?, etc.)
