About this On Demand Training

Identifying and Developing a Person-Centered Outcome Goal and Tracking it Using Goal Attainment Scaling (SW Credits)

The training will provide best practices as well as examples of how to develop a SMART person-centered outcome goal from a value. Once you learn how to develop a SMART person-centered outcome goal, you will learn how to use goal attainment scaling to document and track a person-centered outcome goal. Goal attainment scaling is a tool designed to help create goals that are both relevant to the individual and measurable as quality metric. It’s a technique that has been around since the 60’s and has been used heavily in mental health, rehabilitation, disease management and geriatrics.
