The analysis of patient health improvement falls under _______ criteria.

  • A.Structural
  • B.Process
  • C.Outcome
  • D.Planning

Answer: C

It falls under Outcome criteria.

In Donabedian's model of quality of care, structure refers to the setting and resources (staff, buildings, equipment), process to what is actually done in giving care, and outcome to the effect of care on the patient's health. An improvement in the patient's health is an end result, so it is an outcome.

Structural and process criteria assess the inputs and activities, not the result. Planning is not one of the three categories.
