Goals vs Objectives

Goal

SMART Objectives by Goal Manager

A goal is a wide ranging target that the team and client wishes to achieve. They are usually set at the MDT meeting after collaboration from the whole team. Within Goal Manager® these are set and rated using Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS).
Examples of a goal:
Naomi’s daily life will not be regularly impacted by fatigue.
Or
Paul’s walking distance ability to improve over time.

Objective

SMART Objectives by Goal Manager

An objective is the individual step a team member is going to take to help the client achieve their goal. These are set by individual team members and within Goal Manager® they follow the SMART framework.
Examples of an objective:
Complete an objective assessment of Naomi’s sleep functioning using sleep actigraphy. (Psychologist)
Or
Paul to be completing physical activity everyday in order to improve his level of fitness and physical skills. (Physiotherapist)
