What is the outcome of the outcomes? Evaluation of the therapy outcome measures.
In 1996, the Speech and Language Therapy Departments of First Community Health NHS Trust and Kidderminster Care NHS Trusts agreed to take part in a year's pilot study of the Therapy Outcome Measures developed by Enderby and John (1997). This paper will discuss the rationale for choosing to pilot these outcome measures and discuss the implementation of the project from a service manager's perspective. The discussion will focus upon what has been learnt from piloting the Therapy Outcome Measures.
