Abstract
This chapter assumes you will want to know how your integrated care efforts are affecting your practice. It demystifies measurement and provides principles and a framework for measuring, not everything, but what really matters to your practice and your patients. It provides guidance about what to measure, how to get started, how you can use measurement as a routine part of practice, and what challenges to anticipate.
