Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

When It Is Used

Use the review during ongoing recovery support when practitioner and client need to understand change over time against outcomes the person finds meaningful.

What It Captures

The review captures person-defined outcomes, client perspective on change, strategy notes, practitioner adjustment notes, dates, and historical snapshots.

Important Boundary

The tool does not create standardized scores, recovery grades, diagnostic conclusions, or generic milestones.

What happens if there are no prior outcomes?

The tool creates a baseline review rather than a longitudinal comparison.

Are numerical ratings required?

No. The experience should avoid numerical ratings unless a resolved configuration supplies them.

Who interprets progress?

The client perspective remains central, and practitioner interpretation is kept distinct from descriptive change displays.

Can outcomes change over time?

Yes. Old outcomes remain historical, and new or revised outcomes are marked clearly for continuity.
