Bus/Financial - Management / consulting (balanced scorecard)
Italian term or phrase: effettivo riscontro economico
This is a (clumsily written) case study about a "balanced scorecard" project at an Italian hospital. I'm having trouble phrasing the phrase between * and * in the second bullet point below. Any ideas? Feel free to give me your translation of the whole bit between the brackets!

La soluzione implementata ricalca perfettamente la metodologia Norton e Kaplan con le quattro prospettive:

o Paziente ( assicura che la struttura sanitaria sia in grado di ascoltare le esigenze dei pazienti)
o Economico Finanziaria (assicura che gli obiettivi prefissati *abbinino un effettivo riscontro economico*)
o Processo ( assicura il miglioramento continuo dei processi interni )
o Innovazione ( incoraggia l’iniziativa dei singoli e l’assunzione dei risachi e permette di monitorare la motivazione e le competenze del personale).
