Concept Analysis
Introduction
Patient outcomes define the core of integrating quality and cost-effectiveness
health care. The concept of outcomes provides qualitative data used in making decisions and
identifying gaps in the provision of quality services. Indeed, the idea of patient outcomes is
significant in the health care industry, but current studies focus on specific components of the
ideology. A concept analysis can fill knowledge gaps by breaking down the essentials of
philosophy, along with integrating the idea into clinical practice and theoretical testing
(McEwen & Wills, 2014). This concept analysis clarifies the underlying elements and
identity of patient outcomes in nursing practice. Furthermore, the paper integrates the concept
with Levine’s model of conservation to test applicability in the health care industry.
Defining Attributes
Attributes are typical characteristics that occur in a concept frequently, thereby
helping scholars distinguish different phenomena (Walker & Avant, 2011). This study is
based upon three attributes; functional ability, safety, and satisfaction. First, a functional
condition refers to the ability of individuals to carry out routine functions, in the context of
fulfilling basic needs and maintaining health wellbeing. Patients are evaluated by how well
they handle essential duties. Second, patient safety refers to the practice of preventing injuries
in patients by providing quality health care. Therefore, the element entails avoiding damages
that could arise when patients receive care. Third, satisfaction is a patient-based view of
pleasure in areas like pain management, education, and nursing responses.
Antecedents
The term “antecedents” refers to the occurrences that must be observed before the
materialization of a concept. In the context of patient outcomes, antecedents include social
