Description
The Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS), listed in SAMHSA's NREBPP, is used by thousands of behavioral health professionals in all 50 states and in 20 countries. This client-directed, outcome-informed and recovery-oriented approach takes 5 minutes (or less) to solicit feedback. Clients/peers appreciate tracking their progress from their own points of view. The tools are available for individual, group, child, adult and telephone or electronic interactions. Without changing the current therapeutic model or program, PCOMS is effective with people across diagnostic categories and in public and private service delivery systems, resulting in significantly reduced dropouts, improved recovery outcomes, and enhanced supervision practices.
Learning Objectives
  • Explain the research-based factors responsible for client change that cut across professional disciplines and preferred treatment models.
  • Assess the client’s vital perceptions of recovery progress and satisfaction so that services can be empirically tailored to the individual’s characteristics, circumstances, and resources.
  • Use three simple yet feasible, valid, and reliable tools to gather practice-based evidence of service process and outcome effectiveness.
