Can the introduction of a quality of life tool affect individual professional practice and the quality of care planning in a community mental health team?

Murphy, NA; Cutts, H

Abstract

This practice development paper demonstrates the scope for creativity
in mixing audit and methods of investigation. It details the evolution of
Quality of Life (QOL) perspectives and relates them to the practice
of care planning. The process proved enlightening and affirming to
practitioners and engaged them in considering value-based practice
(recovery-orientated) from the perspective of the client. It was clear that
subtle changes to care planning emerged, and the goal of giving responsibility
for self determining issues was addressed.
