Скачать или смотреть Beyond Survival – What Truly Makes a Good Health Outcome?

Welcome to Healthepi, where we explore the deeper currents of health, healthcare, and the human experience. I’m your host, a health services researcher, and today we’re diving into a profound and necessary question:

What truly defines a "good" health outcome?

We often default to one measure: survival. Headlines praise 5-year survival rates or drugs that reduce mortality. But is that all there is? Is living longer the same as living better?

In this episode, we challenge the illusion of a single metric and unpack why survival alone is an incomplete picture. Through the lens of research and real-world examples, we explore a richer, more meaningful understanding of health outcomes—those that actually reflect what matters most to patients, families, and communities.

We'll examine:

Why Quality of Life must be front and center
The role of Patient-Reported Outcomes & Experiences
The value of Functional Status and daily independence
How societal impacts like equity and economics shape what we call success in healthcare
This conversation isn't just for clinicians or researchers—it’s for anyone who’s ever wondered what “getting better” should truly mean.

Let’s go beyond numbers to rediscover the heart of healing.
