Outcome Insight Matrix Overview

Welcome the trainee. Introduce the Outcome Insight Matrix as a simple table for capturing client outcome measures over time. Emphasize its role in sharpening feedback and guiding treatment decisions.

Matrix Columns & Definitions

Walk through each column one at a time. Clarify any trainee questions on definitions or where they might capture data in their own system.

Example Entry

Show an actual filled-in row and explain how each field was determined. Highlight how notes add context to raw scores.

Color-Coding Scheme

Explain why color-coding speeds up visual scanning. Encourage trainees to customize thresholds based on their population.

Quick Tips for Real-Time Tracking

Offer practical pointers to integrate the matrix into daily workflow. Suggest reviewing it at the start of each session to prime treatment decisions.
