“Over the past 20 years, we’ve used the Personal Outcome Measures® in various ways such as taking action, shifting agency policy, developing plans, and celebrating goals,” says Jennifer Stavenhagen, Director of Quality & Incident Management for The Adirondack Arc.

The Personal Outcome Measures® (POM) is a powerful tool to ensure supports and services are truly person-centered. In a POM interview, people receiving services share information about the presence, importance, and achievement of outcomes. Their support providers then discuss the services that the organization has in place for those outcomes. These interviews cover quality of life areas involving choice, health, safety, social capital, relationships, rights, goals, dreams, employment, and more.

The insight gained during a POM interview can then be used to inform a person-centered plan, improve individualized supports, track progress, and assess effectiveness. At an aggregate level, agencies can use this data to identify strengths and opportunities, and support ongoing quality enhancement.

In this interactive 2-part virtual training, ‘Introduction To The Personal Outcome Measures®,’ we will facilitate an in-depth exploration of the Personal Outcome Measures®. Attendees will learn about the tool, its factors and indicators, and how to leverage it to improve the quality of your services and the quality of life for people who receive them. We’ll also share eye-opening data collected through the POM and describe what it means for transforming supports.
