AB  - Before  discussing  the  details  of  writing  goals,  it  is  important  to  discuss  the  relationship  between  Expected  Outcomes  and  Anticipated  Goals  in  the  note.  The  Expected  Outcomes  section  of  the  note  describes  the  final  functional  status  to  be  achieved  by  the  end  of  the  skilled  therapy  intervention  provided.  Expected  Outcomes  are  commonly  called  Long  Term  Goals.  The  Anticipated  Goals,  commonly  called  Short  Term  Goals,  are  the  stepping-stones  for  achieving  the  Expected  Outcomes.  Determining  the  Expected  Outcomes  and  Anticipated  Goals  is  based  on  a  combination  of  many  factors,  including  the  patient's  diagnosis,  other  medical  history,  clinical  judgment  from  the  therapist,  and  results  of  the  examination  process.  Some  facilities  will  elect  to  set  only  one  set  of  goals  (Anticipated  Outcomes)  if  the  patient  will  need  skilled  intervention  for  only  a  short  period,  such  as  two  or  three  visits  in  an  acute  care  setting.  However,  if  the  patient  will  participate  in  therapy  over  a  longer  period  of  time,  both  Expected  Outcomes  (Long  Term  Goals)  and  Anticipated  Goals  (Short  Term  Goals)  are  set;  this  practice  is  more  common  in  outpatient  and  inpatient  rehabilitation  settings.
