Charge for the Sub-Regional Meetings Work together via facilitated discussions to: Provide feedback concerning your experience with the WRBHO Begin the development of a cross-system plan to impact inpatient /outpatient transitions

….As you have your sub-regional discussions, please consider the following information being provided by John and Chris…..

Practices that Support Effective Inpatient to Outpatient Transitions Some facts: Only 42% of initial appointments following psychiatric hospitalization are kept nationally. Missed appointments increase the likelihood of re-hospitalization and increase costs of outpatient care. (Kreyenbuhl, Nossel, & Dixon, 2009). Between 25% and 50% of patients who miss mental health appointments disengage from treatment entirely (Killaspy, 2007).

Practices that Support Effective Inpatient to Outpatient Transitions Some facts… Dropping out of treatment after a psychiatric hospitalization increases the likelihood of re- hospitalization from 1 in 10 to 1 in 4 (Mitchell & Selmes, 2007). Keeping one outpatient appointment reduces the risk of re-hospitalization (Nelson, Maruish, & Axler, 2000).

Practices that Support Effective Inpatient to Outpatient Transitions – What Works…. A pre-discharge transition interview with the patient to identify and address barriers to attendance. Patient telephone contact pre-discharge with the outpatient provider. Communication about the patient’s discharge plans between inpatient and outpatient clinicians.

Practices that Support Effective Inpatient to Outpatient Transitions – What Works…. Return to their previous outpatient provider… unless the individual prefers another provider or when specific clinical needs would suggest an alternative. Scheduling appointments within a few days of hospital discharge. Reminder letters or phone calls from the outpatient provider regarding scheduled appointments.

Sub-regional Meetings Four Sub-Regions: Chautauqua Region- Goes to Board Room Erie Region - Stays in Atrium Finger Lakes Region – Goes to Emerald room Monroe Region- Goes to Chrystal Room You decide the sub-region to join

Sub-regional Meetings What to Expect Breakout by region, with large regions splitting into smaller groups of approximately 15. Facilitator and scribe for each group. Each group will:  Provide feedback on their experience with the WRBHO  Discuss the current inpatient/outpatient transition process: what is working well?, What should work better?, What are the barriers to making it better?  Identify the three things most important things to change  Discuss what key stakeholder groups should be asked to do in order to achieve the desired change  Decide upon three steps to take between now and the next meeting

Sub-regional Meetings What to Expect Each group will report back to the sub- regional group prior to the end of the session. Each sub region will provide feedback on the usefulness of the sub-region structure for future meetings. Information collected will be transcribed and sent out to all participants after the meeting
