ALCA CE Webinar: Outcome Measurement for Aging Life Care Professionals®

ALCA CE Webinar: Outcome Measurement for Aging Life Care Professionals®
Measuring outcomes does not have to be complicated. This session shows Aging Life Care Professionals how to track meaningful outcomes using simple tools, recognize patterns over time, and tell a clear story about impact. Designed for practitioners who feel unsure where to start, this presentation and companion workbook offer an easy 1-2-3 framework that strengthens care, builds confidence, and makes the value of Aging Life Care visible.
Measuring outcomes can feel intimidating or disconnected from day-to-day practice, especially in busy Aging Life Care settings where urgent needs take priority. This session demystifies outcome measurement and shows how it can be simple and closely aligned with the real work of supporting clients and families.
Presented by Jullie Gray, DSW, MSW, LICSW, CMC, a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work, in this webinar, she draws on examples and findings from the Virginia Tech study, and highlights outcomes that matter most to clients and families and demonstrates how outcome data can strengthen care planning, professional credibility, and referral relationships.
Learning Objectives:
  • Describe the purpose and value of outcome measurement in Aging Life Care practice for clients, families, referral partners, and professional credibility.
  • Apply a simple 1-2-3 framework to outcome measurement by selecting one outcome, using a brief tool to gather information, and identifying patterns over time.
  • Differentiate between formally validated research tools and practice-informed tools, and identify when each type is appropriate for use in Aging Life Care practice.
  • Explain how qualitative narratives and quantitative data can be combined to create a fuller picture of client and family impact.
  • Recognize ethical considerations related to collecting, using, and sharing outcome data, including confidentiality, consent, and use of aggregate information.
