Outcomes Framework - Entitites

Each metric in the system can be targeted at an entity. An entity is any major object in the system. It includes:

• The entire organization
• Subunits in the organization
• Individual providers

By default, all metrics target the entire organization. In general, it is useful to have at least some top-level metrics, but there may be occasions where more targeted metrics are appropriate:

• An acute stabilization unit will have very different goals and outcomes than an organization doing longer-term psychotherapy. Each organization should be judged according to appropriate standards.
• There may be occasions where some organizations are subject to additional reporting requirements not required by the rest of the organization.
