Adult Social Care Glossary, v 0.6

There is currently a gap in person-centred outcomes measurement linked specifically to needs and packages. Review Outcomes Achieved refer to personal outcomes that the adult wishes to achieve in day-to-day life. It is included as an overview of whether support services have enabled the client to achieve their stated outcomes.
This field should be populated for planned reviews and may be provided for unplanned reviews where available.
It is expected that, in line with Care Act eligibility, clients in receipt of long-term support will have specified at least two personal outcomes where there is a need. At the review stage, the individual or their representative and the assessor should identify and agree the extent to which their outcomes have been met. Where all outcomes have been met, the response should be ‘Fully met’. Where at least one outcome has been fully or partially met, the response should be ‘Partially met’.
It is understood that the recording of outcomes varies between local authorities, as will the evaluation of whether those outcomes have been achieved. It is also understood that not all case management systems capture ‘Review Outcomes Achieved’ in an easily reportable format. Where this is the case, a note should be included in the comments section during submissions.
The defined list is in line with the Safeguarding Adults Collection (SAC) return, Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) table. Review outcomes should not be inferred from subsequent events such as whether services have been maintained or varied.
