A fine example of the work done by ICCS can be seen in the Matrix Outcomes Model. This model provides a set of complementary assessment, case management and evaluation tools, enabling health and human service providers to both empower and track individual, family, agency, and community outcomes over time and in a way that allows for the complexity of the challenges they face.
