The quality of life of persons living with all types of disabilities is closely tied to the services they receive in home and community settings. Continued service improvement hinges on high fidelity measurement.
RTC/OM's goals are to help build your HCBS outcome measurement expertise, inform you about the items and instruments in use across the country, to create a new set of validated instruments provided to you free of charge, and finally, to reach out to service recipients with knowledge that connects their quality of life with outcome measurement to empower their self-advocacy. You can learn more by exploring our educational modules, database, briefs, peer-reviewed articles, case studies, technical reports, and advocacy videos.
