This article discusses the COPM in relation to the CMOP - the model from which it was designed. It examines issues associated with application of the COPM in targeted clinical and non-clinical situations. The paper suggests considerations required to ensure that the highest quality of information is derived from the COPM in all situations. Although the paper emphasizes the centrality of the client-centred approach, it also demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of the COPM to different situations, clients, settings and purposes. The paper also discusses cultural considerations when using a client centred approach, particularly in relation to peoples comfort with making such decisions.

The Perceive: Recall: Plan and Perform System (PRPP) is a process-oriented, criterion referenced assessment that employs task analysis methods to determine problems with cognitive information processing component function during routine, task or subtask performance. The PRPP System is for use with adults and children who have difficulty performing daily or episodic tasks. It is suitable for adults and children of either sex and from any cultural background. The time taken to administer the PRPP System varies with the severity of information processing difficulty and the complexity of tasks assessed. A tester familiar with the PRPP System and the client can complete the assessment of one person on four or five tasks in most cases in one to two hours

This compendium is primarily designed for clinicians engaged in service delivery and development, who wish to gauge clinical effectiveness and recovery, in a balanced, culturally appropriate, ethical and respectful manner. It is designed for clinicians who perhaps are not expert in the area of outcome measurement, and who wish to be guided about the scope of instruments, and find out which instruments might be appropriate for particular forms of outcome measurement. The compendium is also aimed at service users who might want to learn about different measures, and their properties, advantages and disadvantages
