What It Captures

The profile captures explicit client preferences about service delivery and optional current-service notes for descriptive mismatch review.

What Mismatch Means

A mismatch indicator means a stated preference and current-service note may not align. It is not a decision, satisfaction score, or clinical interpretation.

Repeat Use

Preferences can be revisited as the client's needs change, with prior versions preserved for context.

Does the tool infer preferences from behavior?

No. Preferences are explicit and client-stated. The tool does not infer preferences from behavior.

Is this a satisfaction survey?

No. It captures service preferences and possible mismatches, not satisfaction scores.

Does a mismatch decide what the service must change?

No. A mismatch is descriptive. Practitioner decisions and service adjustments happen in the surrounding care workflow.

Can preferences be updated later?

Yes. Preferences can be revisited, and historical versions can show changes over time.
