Outcome Measures
Outcome measures tell a team whether the changes it is making are actually leading to improvement — that is, helping to achieve the stated aim. For example, 15% percent reduction in the number of children who recieved incorrect medication.
Process Measures
Process measures tell a team whether a specific process change has been accomplished and whether it is having the intended effect. A team often establishes several process measures in the course of its work. The assumption is that improvement in a process measure will have an eventual impact on the outcome measure.
