Quality of Life

Quality of Life instruments capture the person’s day to day experience including their care, autonomy, privacy, participation in activities, comfort, and safety. Results may be used to inform changes to a person’s supports and services. Organizations can use results to adjust a person’s care plan as well as to establish person-reported experience measures (PREM) to drive quality improvement.

• The Self-Reported Quality of Life (QOL) includes the person's perspective on autonomy, privacy, comfort, relationships, and meaningful activities.
• The Self-Reported Quality of Life – Child and Youth Mental Health (QOL-ChYMH) includes the child’s (ages 7 to 18) perception of life satisfaction and well-being before and after receiving mental health services.
• The Self-Reported Quality of Life Survey for Mental Health and Addictions (QOL-MHA) includes the person's perspective on personal outlook, autonomy, self-determination, empowerment, privacy, stigma, and activities.
