What is an Outcome Based Care Approach
- Outcome based care is about ensuring the care provided is effective, efficient and aligned with the individual needs, choices and preferences.
- The outcomes include an individual’s physical, social, and emotional needs. An outcome-based approach strives to achieve more than just providing medical interventions. It aims to optimise an individual's well-being by focusing on their functional abilities and promoting independence.
- An outcome-based practice focuses on providing care and support by understanding what really matters to people and developing individual, personal outcomes. These personal outcomes represent individual goals that the person receiving care and their care team can work together to achieve. Personal outcomes revolve around an individual’s mental and physical well-being and recognise that people are the experts of their own lives.
- We know that outcomes can vary from person to person, depending on what matters to the individual. We strive to adapt each care plan to a person’s unique skills, talents and desires to achieve the best possible outcome for the people and their families.
