Therapy Outcome Measures:
Bridge Case Management's Two Additional Outcome Measures.
How can you measure case management?
CM-TOMs is a holistic tool, developed with Prof Enderby of Sheffield University based upon her therapy outcome measure tool, which is, supported by 40 years of research evidence.
CM-TOMs can be used to quantify the client's current levels of Impairment, Activity, Participation, Wellbeing and Engagement. By using it to set a baseline and then re-scoring at pre-determined points along the clients’ rehabilitation journey, we can begin to build a picture of the impact of case management. The data will enable us to identify excellent case management practice, alongside understanding barriers to rehabilitation. We will be able to begin to build an evidence base to support cohesive rehabilitation plans, that truly enable the client’s rehabilitation, in a cost-effective way, improving the quality of case management services. It is also important to add that maintaining a clients performance can also be a good outcome, it's not always about improvement in all of the domains. And the rest, as they say, is history!
Bridge Case Management are extremely excited about using TOMs and would like to thank Professor Enderby for her support and commitment in getting us here.
How can I read more about CM-TOMs?
CM-TOMs will be included in the new edition of Prof. Enderby’s book; Therapy Outcome Measure Handbook Theory, User Guide and Scales (2024) & Therapy Outcome Measure: Scales and resources for long covid rehabilitation and case management. You can find the books here!
How can I get training to use CM-TOMs?
If you have never undertaken TOMs training previously, you will need to access the "Introduction to TOMs," training courses provided by Community Therapy Network. If no training date is upcoming, we can request additional training for groups of up to 10. Once you have completed the initial TOMs training, you will be able to access bespoke CM-TOMs training with Bridge Case Management.
Why should I do the training?
In order for data to be standardised across the industry therefore generating a greater evidence base, we need to standardise scoring across the industry. This is best achieved through training with the authors of CM-TOM.
CM TOMs is now coming up to its first birthday since going live with bridge, we are now able to generate and review objective data to underpin the narrative of the client’s journey.
If you are interested in learning more about CM TOMs, we are looking at launching our training series very soon, this will be supplemental to the TOMs training provided by Innervate Ltd.
