Interpreting Information to Create Knowledge

Chapter 3 is an accessible explanation of some key measurement methods that underlie policy discussions about resource allocation and accountability for health outcomes and costs.

Our hope is that more people will be able to understand and participate in the conversations on what’s the best health care for our state.
