Number of patients who successfully completed the clinically recommended course of a health intervention during the reporting period.
Organizations should footnote the expected time frame and clinical protocols that define a completed treatment, in addition to all other assumptions used. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture the number of patients who successfully completed treatment during the reporting period. Successful completion means that all required steps were completed and taken in the appropriate time frame and that the treatment adhered to local protocols.
Examples of interventions in which this metric might apply include:
June 2022 - IRIS v5.3 Released (current version)
Immaterial change. Minor revision to usage guidance for clarity.
January 2020 - IRIS v5.1 Released
No change.
May 2019 - IRIS v5.0 Released
New metric. Developed via IRIS+ core metrics sets.
IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
