- Outcome Measures: Improvement in functional status, quality of life, and reduction in symptoms. - Process Measures: Adherence to treatment protocols and patient engagement levels. - Cost-Effectiveness: Analysis of healthcare costs saved due to reduced hospital readmissions and improved health outcomes. - Longitudinal Studies: Following patients over time to assess sustained benefits and identify any long-term issues.
