Abstract

This study presents the pioneering experience of Brazilian public and private healthcare institutions in implementing the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) outcome sets. The aim was to assess the feasibility and applicability of standardized outcome measurement in a context marked by regional and institutional inequalities. A phased methodology was applied, including collaborative selection of care lines supported by business intelligence, indicator definition, protocol standardization, structured rounds, team training, and technological integration through digital platforms and quality management systems. Thirteen institutions participated, with 652 patients included across different care lines such as breast cancer, older person, stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and hip and knee osteoarthritis. Response rates reached 100% in breast cancer, 93% in older person, ranging from 23% to 91% in coronary artery disease, 100% baseline collection in stroke and osteoarthritis when workflows were integrated, and 100% baseline adherence in heart failure (57% overall in the set). The number of indicators collected varied from 26 to 119, with adherence rates ranging from 57% to 100%. Results demonstrated relevant clinical and organizational impacts, such as early identification of post-stroke emotional distress, multiprofessional engagement, and the use of dashboards to support clinical governance. It is concluded that structured outcome measurement is feasible and strategic to reduce unjustified variations, strengthen clinical governance, and support the transition towards value-based payment models, in alignment with the mission of the National Center for Clinical Research and Technology of Fundação Unimed (CNPCT-FU).
