HoNOS outcomes graph builder - Microsoft Excel 2007 or later

The outcomes graph builder has been designed by Te Pou for clinicians who have limited access to IT tools. It is an Excel file that allows you to enter a service user's HoNOS outcomes data into a rating form, to generate a graph that can be shown to the service user or used in a team discussion when reviewing the person's care. It graphically presents information for up to three time periods, with the ability to store up to 12 individual collections of information.

This version has been created to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or later. It has been revised from the initial version which included the use of macros. The macros have been removed to ensure the tool runs easily on all computers and avoids the need to make changes to security settings.

Note: This outcomes graph builder (excluding the Excel programme) has been developed by Te Pou, and should not be copied or used for any purpose other than that of implementing HoNOS tools without the express written consent of Te Pou.

We suggest you create a new file for each service user. To do so, select Save As from the original file, choose a location to save it to and use the service user's name as the file name.

With service user information, you should ensure the file is saved in a place with the appropriate level of security.
