Explanation:
Definition of Health Outcomes
Health Outcomes are a change in the health status of an individual, group or population which is attributable to a planned intervention or series of interventions, regardless of whether such an intervention was intended to change health status.



Such a definition emphasizes the outcome of planned interventions (as opposed, for example, to incidental exposure to risk), and that outcomes may be for individuals, groups or whole populations. Interventions may include government policies and consequent programmes, laws and regulations, or health services and programmes, including health promotion programs.



It may also include the intended or unintended health outcomes of government policies in sectors other than health. Health outcomes will normally be assessed using health indicators. See also intermediate health outcomes, and health promotion outcomes.

*****************************************************************************
According to this definition, health outcomes seems to refer to any change to health status occured by external factors.

In this context, it seems to focuse on the result or outcome to human health status/indicator by health care.

So here provide two translations for choice.
