When adding a factor to an assessment definition a record is created on this entity. A factor must be associated with an outcome plan in administration before it can be added to an outcome plan for a client. Associating a factor with an outcome plan results in the creation of a record on this table.

Example

James Smith, Linda Smith and their child Robert must be assessed to identify the family's strengths and needs in an effort to help build an effective outcome plan. The Family Strengths and Needs Assessment (FSN) Assessment is run from the family's outcome plan by a case worker. Linda is selected as Roberts primary caregiver, James is his secondary caregiver and Robert is selected as the focus child. The Definition FSN contains nine factors which are used to assess the family's functioning and a result is produced for each factor. This entity stores the links between the nine factors and the assessment which was run to assess the family's needs.
