AbstractThis article discusses the use of assessed quality of life scores for organization and systems‐level monitoring and reporting, quality improvement, and research. Information presented is based on the experiences of policy makers, service/supports providers, and researchers who have used an eight‐domain quality of life model and the measurement of domain‐referenced indicators. In reference to each use, we provide examples, identify critical issues, and suggest a number of practice guidelines.
