With the advent of quality improvement and outcome measurement imperatives, providers of healthcare services must fully understand the importance of the human and clinical processes that lead to positive patient encounters. To that end, this article proposes that parallel qualities exist between behavioral need theory and the clinical hierarchy of patient outcomes.
