Right Care means delivering treatment that’s tailored to the person’s diagnosis, needs, and abilities with the goal of achieving the desired outcomes, using evidence-based practices and continuous quality improvement. It emphasizes choosing interventions that are proven effective for the individual's condition, aligning care with the person’s goals, and regularly reviewing and adjusting the plan to improve results.

This isn’t about cost or cheapest options, and it isn’t solely defined by whether services meet assessed need or progress. It also requires applying best practices and ongoing quality improvement so care remains effective and up-to-date. It isn’t restricted to services delivered in the home or any single setting.
