Yes. Although data linkage can provide some very robust outcome assessments, IT cannot assess some important outcomes, such as wellbeing, family relationships, substance use etc. These must be captured through surveys or interviews of a much smaller number of clients.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
