About this On Demand Training

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

In this training you will learn how to have a values discussion to identify what matters most to an individual and translate what matters most into a SMART goal that can be measured and tracked overtime. 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 in a behavioral health setting. 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.
