Measuring outcomes of aged care programs: The Australian Community Care Outcomes Measurement (ACCOM) tool

Being able to demonstrate positive outcomes for clients accessing aged care programs at home is an important component of quality assurance and monitoring.

The ACCOM tool (developed through a joint project Macquarie University and University of Wollongong) uses valid and reliable instruments to measure the impact of services on consumers’ quality of life and health outcomes.

This workshop will explain how to use the ACCOM tool and the steps required to implement and manage ongoing outcome evaluation of aged care programs.
