“The workshop experience was interactive and well-paced. It was refreshing to spend the week focusing on individual outcomes and supports related to the Personal Outcome Measures®,” says Erica Giaimo, Quality Assurance Director of Welcome House Inc.
The Personal Outcome Measures® (POM) is a person-centered discovery tool to explore the presence, importance, and achievement of personally-defined outcomes, along with the supports that help people attain their individual goals and dreams. Through the POM, people receiving services share what really matters to them, including their hopes and aspirations. Organizations can then use that information to evaluate the quality of their services, become more responsive, and improve the quality of people’s lives.
At an individual level, the Personal Outcome Measures® can be used to inform a truly person-centered plan, and track progress in implementing that plan. At an aggregate level, organizations can collect Personal Outcome Measures® data to analyze the impact of their supports, identify effective services, and highlight areas where additional work is needed.
In a 5-day ‘Personal Outcome Measures® Workshop,’ attendees will start with the basics and leave being able to conduct actual interviews and collect baseline data. It includes interactive components, lively activities, group collaboration, and more, to educate and empower attendees to effectively use the Personal Outcome Measures®.
