Client Progress & Data Collection
In order to determine a clients progress you must have Data Collection. This determines the clients progress and the program methods that are appropriate. Also, it is essential that the data we collect is reliable. What is the key in implementing the program and recording the data based on implementation, it is being consistent.
That's why it is constantly stated to the direct care staff, always do active treatment with the client, interact with them on a daily basis so that when we have licensing come out it is reflected by having a good survey.
Direct care staff will make repeated evaluations during each workday and several will be implementing programs. This is why it is necessary that data collection be kept simple as possible and staff trained in the documentation area of each program.
Implementation of client programs are On-Going. Programs should not be run only at times data is scheduled to be collected, but implemented at every opportunity to learn.
