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.Â

- Define SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, & Time-bound) goals.
- Translate what matters most into a SMART person-centered outcome goal.
- Document an individual’s SMART goal into a standardized scale (goal attainment scaling).
- Use goal attainment scaling to document, track and assess goal progress overtime in a standardized way.
- Identify best practices for implementing the approach with diverse populations.Â
