Outcome SynthesisAuthor`s NameInstitution5. Definition of Clinical, Satisfaction, and Cost OutcomesThe clinical outcome to be measured is medication adherence. In this case, adherence is the extent to which the African American hypertensive male will take antihypertensives as prescribed by the caregiver at Tri-City clinic. Nonetheless, it is imperative to realize that adherence encompasses other behaviors that extend beyond the pharmaceuticals prescribed by the caregiver (Kaplan & Victor, 2009). This outcome is important as it determines the disease progression and prognosis. It is clear that effectiveness of antihypertensives will only be realized if the patients follow the treatment regimen in a reasonably close manner (Kaplan & Victor, 2009).Two satisfaction outcomes will be measured. These include patient and staff satisfaction (Kleinpell, 2013). The patient satisfaction is an imperative variable that defines the likelihood of a successful treatment plan. Increased patient satisfaction influences on adherence to the antihypertensive regimen. Patient satisfaction measure will be applied to African American males being managed for hypertension at the Tri-City clinic. Caregiver satisfaction is imperative as it boosts the morale and confidence; hence has a direct influence on the management of the patient. The satisfaction levels of the caregivers at the Tri-City clinic will be measured in this respect.On the cost outcome, the estimated hospital charges saved in treating hypertensive patients will be measured (Muennig, 2008). US dollars will be the denomination employed in measurement of outcome. In addition, the cost per patient visit will also be measured. This will apply to only the African American males being treated for hypertension. Improvement in medication adherence will lead to a decreased cost to both the clinic and patient. This is because disease complications, which are costly to treat, will be avoided (Muennig, 2008).6. Methods of Measuring Cl...
