PY - 2018 T2 - Measuring ROI in Healthcare: Tools and Techniques to Measure the Impact and ROI in Healthcare Improvement Projects and Programs AB - Reporting improvement in impact measures is an important step in a healthcare project evaluation that leads to the money. The question comes up (as it should): How much of this improvement was the result of the project? Unfortunately, the answer is rarely provided with any degree of accuracy and confidence. Although the change in performance may, in fact, be linked to the project, other, nonproject-related factors may have contributed to the improvement as well. If this issue is not addressed, the results reported will lack credibility. This chapter explores useful methods for isolating the effects of the project, sometimes labeled attribution. These methods have been used in some of the most successful organizations as they attempt to measure the ROI from projects.
