Outcome measures

Something a bit different today as there doesn't seem to be much of interest in the journals.

Suppose you were asked to come up with some indicators of how well your local health service was performing. It has already been agreed that the five domains of interest are:

1. Preventing premature death
2. Good quality of life in chronic disease
3. Speedy recovery from acute illness
4. Good experience of care
5. Patient safety

What indicators would you suggest? Here are the ones your colleagues in the Department of Health came up with.
