Emerging Best Practices Components
Merged with Ohio Consumer Outcomes Domains
| The nine recovery components of the Emerging Best Practices process can be merged with the four domains of the Ohio Consumer Outcomes. The table below illustrates how the domains match up with the nine essential components of effective community services. While these are the most likely matching, it's important to realize that it's possible for all of the domains to apply to each Outcome Survey question and that variation will occur among consumers. |

Access to Resources, Stigma |
| The clinician and the consumer can use the results of the consumer
outcomes survey to identify strengths and weakness and to determine what
aspect of their life the consumer wants to work on. They can then go to
the appropriate component in the Emerging Best Practices in Mental
Health Recovery book (based on the table above) to identify what status
the consumer is currently at and what the consumer’s corresponding
goals might be. It is important to note that consumer goals should be
measurable and observable. This information can then be used when
developing the consumer’s treatment plan. |
| Example: | A consumer's "red flag" report shows that the
consumer has neutral or positive responses for the Clinical Status,
Functional Status and Safety & Health questions, but indicates
dissatisfaction on several of the Quality of Life questions. In
particular, the survey results suggest that the consumer is not
satisfied with their financial situation or the amount of friendships in
their life (questions 1-4, 29).
Based on these results, the consumer and clinician can refer to the table above to determine what components of the Emerging Best Practices will best help the consumer strengthen these aspects of their life. In this case, within the Quality of Life domain, the two applicable Emerging Best Practices components are Peer Support/Relationships and Work/Meaningful Activity. Once identifying the components, the consumer and clinician can use the Emerging Best Practices booklet to determine where the consumer currently is in their recovery and identify Best Practices from which to develop goals. |
