therapy outcome research

research that investigates the end results of therapy or other interventions to which patients are exposed. The focus is primarily on the “cure” (or not) of patients, but the research also evaluates their experiences, preferences, and values, as well as the wider influence on society. The aim is to identify shortfalls in practice and to develop strategies to prevent or mitigate problems and improve care. See also treatment outcome research; treatment process research.
