Abstract

KEY POINTS
- Outcome measures are an important way of illustrating change over time, for the benefit of
family members, practitioners and service managers.
• Measures can be a useful means to make comparisons between services and to inform
service development.
• Measuring outcomes for families can be complex due to multiple and varying outcomes so
the choice of an appropriate measure needs to pay attention to a range of considerations,
some of which may be locally determined.
• Consider the cultural context of each family when selecting, administering and interpreting
outcome measures.
• Outcome data will be most useful if it is routinely and consistently collected and collated,
so feasibility is an essential component.
• Idiosyncratic measures and qualitative feedback can be valuable additions to standardised
outcome measures.
