Wellington Early Intervention in Psychosis Service Follow Up study: The years after discharge.

None listed

Wellington Early Intervention Service Follow Up study: The years after discharge. The Early Intervention Service supports people in the community after a first episode of psychosis. After discharge (usually after 2 years) our clients are referred to the care of their GP or a Community Mental Health Team, depending on their needs at the time. We want to find out how our clients fare, what services they access and how their health needs and recovery develop in the years after discharge. In particular we are interested in a comparison between the group discharged to GP and the group discharged to a CMHT team so that we can evaluate our discharge process and criteria. We propose to collect the following information together with client demographics for approx. 350 people who have been discharged from the EIS between November 2006 and November 2014: a. Age, ethnicity, gender b. Duration of time with the Early Intervention Service c. Date of discharge from EIS d. Discharged to GP, CMHT or other e. Number and duration of hospital admissions f. Number and duration of admissions to respite g. Number of referrals across mental and physical health services h. CMHT contacts i. Specialist visits and assessments j. ED contacts k. Primary health contacts l. GP visits m. Blood tests, number and normality The information is available in the CCDHB’s DataMart and Compass Health’s database. So no patient files or notes will have to be accessed. Compass Health in Wellington are interested in cooperating, and they are waiting to hear how we get on with HDEC as they do not have their own process.
