What goes in the objective field?
From TherapyCharts
The objective field is for the steps that will be taken with the patient in order to achieve their goal. The best objectives will have a measurable component within them as well as a set date that it will be completed by. In our system, the objective are linked to the goal statements to help clinicians map out the path to success. Examples based on the above goals might be:
- Jane will learn the penal code for arson.
- Jane will go for two consecutive weeks without setting fire.
- John will learn relaxation techniques.
- John will schedule one outing every day for one week.
