Information gathered from the interRAI PC may assist the person and members of their care team, in partnership, to identify, address, and evaluate person-specific care needs.
In particular, future efforts to evaluate person-centered interventions critically are contingent upon researchers providing detailed information about the scope and nature of the intervention adopted.

The outcome measures utilized to evaluate persons' perceived performance with an MPK also typically described the effects on body functions and activities and participation.
