I have engaged in the pre-session activity and here are the following things that I learned: there are 3 different types of measures such as metrics, health indicators, and health system performance indicators.

The metric is a piece of information that is quantifiable and reported as a number. For example, total health expenditures, inpatient hospitalizations for medical assistance and number of emergency department visits due to food poisoning.

Health indicator gives context to metrics, usually using a ratio (e.g., per 1000 people)

In the health sector, indicators can highlight the quality and effectiveness of various interventions or treatments. It can also highlight about health outcomes, quality of care, and how well public money is being spent.
