Show that your care is making a difference.
Set outcomes for each person you support, record where they started, agree a target and review progress over time. When a commissioner, case manager or family asks whether care is working, you can show them.
From baseline to target, for every person.
Governance shows that care is safe. Outcomes show that it works. Assure tracks both in the same place.
- A baseline, measured where possible, such as eight seizures a month or a hoist for all transfers.
- A target agreed with the person, their family and the professionals involved.
- Regular reviews at a frequency you set, with overdue reviews flagged.
- Progress at a glance: improving, stable, deteriorating or achieved.
Outcomes for each person, with baseline and progress. Sample data from a fictional service.
Outcomes that matter to the person
Start from a ready-made outcome or write your own. Each one sits in a clinical, functional or wellbeing domain.
Clinical
Seizure frequency, pressure area integrity with Waterlow scores, respiratory function, pain, continence and more.
Functional
Mobility goals and daily living skills, such as transferring independently or cooking a meal.
Wellbeing
Social participation and personal goals, such as going to the cinema or seeing family more often.
Hospital admission avoidance
Unplanned admissions each period, one of the outcomes commissioners value most.
Reviews and actions
Each review records the current measure, progress and any actions arising.
Your own outcomes
Create custom outcomes with your own measure, method and review frequency.
The outcomes progress report. Sample data from a fictional service.
A report commissioners actually want to read.
The outcomes progress report sets out every outcome with its baseline, target, latest progress and last review, and highlights anything deteriorating. Run it for the whole service, or for one person ahead of a review with their case manager or continuing healthcare team.
It prints or saves as a PDF, and the data downloads as a spreadsheet.
Why outcomes matter
What outcome records help you show to the people who fund and inspect your care.
| Who is asking | What outcomes help you show |
|---|---|
| Commissioners and case managers | Progress for each person against agreed goals, and admissions avoided. |
| CQC, effective and caring | That care is planned around the person and reviewed against what matters to them. |
| Families | Clear, honest progress they can see and discuss. |
| Your own team | That their work is making a difference, and where to focus next. |
Common questions
Does this replace care plans?
No. Care plans stay in your care records system. Outcomes in Assure track the goals within them over time and report on progress.
Who sets the outcomes?
Your team, with the person, their family and the professionals involved. Assure gives you a structure for the baseline, target and reviews.
Can we track outcomes for one person only?
Yes. Outcomes are set per person, and the progress report can be run for one person or the whole service.
