HCBS Training

Evaluating Outcome Statements

Efforts: What are you doing?

Teams created outcome statements in Module 5. Outcome statements are used to make sure the team's values and vision drive the action plan. The evaluation plan created in this module will help teams monitor the action plan.  It will also help the team make changes over time. Including the outcome statements in the evaluation plan helps the team make sure that HCBS values are reflected in the work taking place.

An HCBS team in Minnesota created wanted to make sure that “all staff members will receive support in using Person-Centered Thinking skills.” Person-Centered Thinking uses skills to support relationship building and problem-solving. These skills help balance what is Important To people with what is Important For them. The team documented efforts using the table you see on this page.
