Personal Outcome Measures®

Personal Outcome Measures (POMs) are a powerful tool to ensure supports and services are truly person-centered. 21 indicators are used to understand the presence, importance and achievement of outcomes, involving choice, health, safety, social capital, relationships, rights, goals, dreams, employment and more. The data is then used to inform a customized, person-centered plan. For decades, Personal Outcome Measures have been an effective data set for valid and reliable measurement of individual quality of life.
