Table 2: <strong>Client</strong> Level Indicators of <strong>Client</strong> –<strong>Centred</strong> Care<br />

CONCEPT DEFINITION<br />

INDICATORS<br />

<strong>Client</strong><br />

participation in<br />

decisionmaking<br />

& goal<br />

setting<br />

The client defines the need, defines<br />

important goals and outcomes, sets the<br />

priorities in partnership with health<br />

professionals. Programs are<br />

individualized to the particular clients’<br />

needs and condition.<br />

• goals are set at levels of<br />

ICIDH-2.<br />

• choice available re: treatment<br />

options.<br />

• use of tools such as goal<br />

attainment scaling and COPM<br />

• single items from Picker or<br />

CAHPS (q33,q34)<br />

<strong>Client</strong>-centred<br />

education<br />

Evaluation of<br />

outcomes from<br />

client’s<br />

perspective<br />

Education and information are crucial to<br />

informed client participation in decisionmaking<br />

and goal setting. Information<br />

should be appropriate, timely and<br />

according to the client’s wishes.<br />

<strong>Client</strong> is at the center of the educational<br />

process and defines educational needs.<br />

<strong>Client</strong>-centred education encourages:<br />

• Autonomy<br />

• <strong>Client</strong> participation<br />

• Planning with client<br />

• Empowerment<br />

• Active client<br />

• Independence<br />

Evaluation of outcomes incorporates<br />

expectations of the client and considers<br />

the importance of performance areas to<br />

the client. Interventions need to be<br />

evaluated using outcomes that tap<br />

multiple dimensions. e.g. move beyond<br />

traditional measures of impairment and<br />

disability to include participation in<br />

mobility, personal maintenance, social<br />

relationships, home life, education, work,<br />

economic life. Further, the clients should<br />

evaluate their own progress towards the<br />

achievement of these goals<br />

• client receives feedback after<br />

evaluation.<br />

• no “dead time” – educational<br />

material provided at first contact<br />

• check for understanding of<br />

educational material<br />

• receives written<br />

instructions/home program.<br />

• understands the risks and<br />

benefits and all evidence-based<br />

options for treatment are explored.<br />

• includes prevention strategies.<br />

• WASCANA<br />

• outcomes measured at all<br />

levels of ICIDH-2.<br />

• clients evaluate goal<br />

achievement e.g. goal attainment<br />

scaling (GAS) and Canadian<br />

Occupational Performance<br />

Measure (COPM)[participation<br />

level goals]<br />

• items added to WASCANA
