Slide 4 Being held responsible for the production and delivery of therapeutic recreation services that best meet client needs and move clients toward predetermined outcomes in the most timely, efficient, and effective manner as possible (Stumbo & Peterson, 2009, p. 73) Slide 5 A program that is designed and implemented to be intervention has as its outcome some degree of client behavioral change (that is, behavioral change is the purpose of the program) (Stumbo & Peterson, 2009, p. 79) The direct, causal link between the process or delivery of care and the outcomes expected from it (Riley, 1991a) Slide 6 Providing the right patient with the right service [at] the right time in the right setting at the right intensity and for the right duration (Navar, 1991, p. 5) Intervention programs that lead to predictable and measurable client outcomes (Peterson & Stumbo, 2009) Slide 7 Achievement of some pre-established standard or a desired level of service (Stumbo, Pegg, & Carter, in press) Degree to which health services for individual and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes (quality principles), are consistent with current professional knowledge (professional practitioner skills), and meet the expectations of healthcare users (the marketplace) (Buttell, Hendler, & Daley, 2006, p. 62) Slide 8 Change in clinical status (effect of tx. on pt. symptoms) Change in functionality (effect of tx. on pt. lifestyle) Change in utilization of medical resources (effect of tx. on using additional health care services) Recidivism (examining patterns of relapse or re-entry into medical system) (Gorski, 1995, p. 33) Slide 9 Observed changes in a clients status as a result of our interventions and interactions... Outcomes can be attributed to the process of providing care, and this should enable us to determine if we are doing for our clients that which we purport to do (Shank & Kinney, 1991, p. 76) Need to have relevance and importance to the clients future lifestyle and are attainable within the time frame of service delivery (Riley, 1987a, 1991a) Slide 10 Observable changes that result from intervention (Client status, functional status, well-being, care satisfaction, cost/resource utilization Changes over specified time Clinical results Results of performance Direct effects of service Difference between input (assessment baseline) and output (discharge) Both planned and unplanned Both beneficial and harmful Straightest line between A and B Straightest line between A and B Slide 11 Client characteristics at end of treatment (re-assessment) (e.g., health status, functional status, quality of life, etc.) Client characteristics at baseline (assessment) (e.g., health status, functional status, quality of life, etc.) Intervention Entry Exit Difference between Point A/Entry and Point B/Discharge = Outcomes 11 Slide 12 Accountability?
