Wait for 1st Assessment Wait for Specialist Assessment Wait for Psychiatric Bed Wait for Transport Areas that need to be explored - those with common causes for delay Information
Greater Glasgow & Clyde – Phase 1 Identify patients who are A&E Breachers Identify all A&E attendances who have a MH diagnosis and are known to our services. Extracted all Mental Health A&E presentations. (North & South A&E – not Clyde) Extracted all MH data recorded on PIMS (Inpatient, CMHT, Crisis etc). Resulted in ‘draft’ suite of information reports linking in with Service use. To do this we - Merged into one database to identify patients. (Patient Linkage)

CLINICAL PORTAL What is Clinical Portal? Mental Health data on Clinical Portal Mental Health Sparra on Clinical Portal A web-based system that presents all electronic information for a patient in a single location The Portal uses technology to provide a clinician-friendly view of information from multiple information sources. Data items to be published in the Mental Health clinical Portal are: o Alerts o Open Referrals o Diagnoses o Last Contact o Last Clinic Attendance Predictive algorithm, developed by ISD. It identifies patients aged 15 years and over at risk of re-admission to a psychiatric hospital or unit.
CLINICAL PORTAL – Mental Health PIMS
CLINICAL PORTAL – Mental Health SPARRA
Next Steps ‘Work in Progress’ Consolidate and agree information requirements between services The initial information analysis has prompted questions about Clinical Pathways between A&E and Mental Health including Addictions
Mental Health, A&E & Addictions Patient Pathway As a result of the data collection exercise reports can now be made available to highlight : Patients who are known to both A&E and Mental Health Services Are regular attendees at A&E Regularly breach the 4 hour target
But We needed to gain a better understanding of the patient journey. To identify gaps, blocks, delays, demand and capacity issues across services. Most importantly we wanted to know what was happening to patients.
Sub-Group established included clinical staff from : A&E, Adult Community Mental Health, Crisis (day & night OOH) Liaison Psychiatry, Inpatients and Addictions Remit of Group: To carry out a process mapping exercise to accurately inform routes into and out of A&E To test clinical scenarios across the process map and identify current systems To support effective interface across all services Mental Health, A&E & Addictions Patient Pathway
Process Three meetings – task and finish approach Plan – scope and range of the work Process map – involving all stake holders Follow up issues identified and action plan developed
Next Steps Feedback Progress – MH and A&E Acute Interface Working Group, GG&C Attendances Group Four dimensions to the action plan – –Clinical Practice –Information –Service Response –Patient Experience Extend membership of Clinical Group to reflect the further work required on pathways
Information – Using information to help inform and improve clinical practice. Clinical Portal – A&E Staff will have access to Mental Health Service Data. Clinical Response – What is the expected response by A&E and Mental Health Staff. Develop Clinical Practice Guidelines – to access management/crisis plans, develop case review mechanisms. Service response – further work to be done with other parts of the Mental Health Service i.e. Addictions Action Plan – “A Taster”
