Abstract
In the health sector it is perceived a knowledge gap concerning to the study of health outcomes for the patient. In this scope, paper provides an overview regarding the study of health outcomes from a patient-centric perspective. Based on data derived from the patient health profile and existing clinical records the proposed model will enable Hospitals to be aware about how well it is performing in relation to patient’s health outcomes. The research follows the framework defined by the Design Science Research methodology and by incorporating Gamification’s techniques it also contributes with an original approach within the hospital context. With the inclusion of the physical, mental and social health perspectives, the proposed model will contribute to improve the study of health outcomes increasing simultaneously the knowledge to the management in public health, providing data to a possible finance model of pay for performance.
