Personal Outcomes Poster Sale

The AIMS system (developed in partnership with CQL Canada) is designed to quantify the support provide to persons requiring a wide range of services and supports, as well as provide a tool to view the type, quality and quantity of these supports to ensure they are at the highest level.

When we first looked at the Quality Measures 2005^® we were unsure of whether it was something we were interested in. The basis seemed to be about data collection and analysis and systems within the organization rather than specifically on the people we support. After experiencing the accreditation process using the new measures we realized how incredible they were. Not only did it contain the same element of interviews with people to learn their perspective but the Personal Outcome Measures^® were inherent throughout the Basic Assurances^®, Shared Values, Community Life^® and Responsive Services^® factors. Each and every factor, each and every probe has a direct relationship to each person that receives our services. The process of accreditation allowed for more involvement for all levels of staff, board, volunteers and community. Even after two consecutive Accreditations with Distinction, the Quality Measures 2005^® took Community Living Campbellford/Brighton to a whole new level of quality and accountability.
