  5. The Organization of LHAs : the Districts

  6. The Organization ofMental Health Services in LHA • There is one Mental Health Department for each of 21 Veneto Region LHAs • Every Mental Health Department has one or more Mental Health Units • In Az.Ulss 9 every District has one Mental Health Unit (4 Districts = 4 MHU) • Every Mental Health Unit organizes many facilities

  7. Mental Health Department • In Italian language: DSM (Dipartimento/Department – Salute/Health – Mentale/Mental) • Responsible for planning and coordinating all mental health services in a specific area • Run by a Director, supported by a Board of Directors (of the units), a Broad Committee, and an Assembly

  8. Mental Health Department It plans and work in cooperation with NPOs, Patients and Families Associations DSM coordinates the “Mental Health Area” that agree with Municipalities the “Piano di Zona” (Zone Planning Act) The Zone Planning Act describes the social activities shared by Municipalities and DSM, the way of building them, the financial resources

  9. The Organization:Mental Health Unit • Hospital Services • National Planning: 1 bed per 10.000 population • In Az. Ulss 9: • 1 Hospital Unit in Treviso General Hospital • 1 Hospital Unit in Oderzo General Hospital • We need 1 more Hospital Unit in Treviso General Hospital (2012?) • Now: 1 bed /17.000 inhabitants • Community-based services

  10. Community-based services 1 CSM (Mental Health Center) : the core for activities It is out of hospital Psychiatric and Psychological activities for outpatients Psychoeducational activities Group Therapy Home support Social support

  11. Community-based services • Partial Time treatments = Day Patients Patients live in their houses and come to facilities for 4-6 hours of treatment • Centro Diurno (Day Rehabilitation Service): • Psycho education activities • Group Therapy • Occupational activities • Day Hospital (Day Treatment Service) • Group Therapy • Psychopharmacological Therapy

  12. Community-based services Full Time treatments: patients live in community Residential Facilities CTRP (Sheltered therapeutic Rehabilitation Community) CA (Sheltered House community) GAP (Sheltered group house) Selection is based on: illness severity / disability / needs for intensive treatment / day care time A way from high disability and severe disease to better health and skills

  13. Sheltered Residential Facilities CTRP (Sheltered therapeutic Rehabilitation Community) 8 – 14 inpatients Highest intensity of treatment Lowest social skills Staff: 24/24 hours CA (Sheltered house community) 6 – 8 inpatients Medium intensity of treatment Better social skills Staff: 12/24 hours GAP (Sheltered house) 4 inpatients Low intensity of treatment Low disability Staff: 4 hours/day

  14. Community based Facilities In Az. Ulss 9 we are modifying and completing the network of facilities Modifying: some facility were organized for patients discharged 30 years ago from Psychiatric Hospitals. Their needs are changed Completing: we need facilities more suitable for young people and early psychosis We now manage directly some facilities, and indirectly some others, managed directly by NPOs Italian Financial Laws limit the engagement of new staff LHAs must buy services from private organizations NGOs are the best reference, owing to costs and the possibility of creating a good collaboration In Az.Ulss 9 the new planning will spend more than 10 million euro / year for sheltered residential facilities managed by NPOs

  15. What we know: the Data In Az. Ulss 9 we have two flows of data Hospital Discharging data: patient (sex, date of birth, where he lives, job, … ) admission (planned, emergency, compulsory) disease (diagnosis, therapy) length of hospital stay Outpatients data patient (sex, date of birth, where he lives, job, ….) how the patient arrived to services disease (diagnosis) what we do (psychiatric or psychological examination, psychotherapy, rehabilitation activities, admission to residential or day/residential facilities, and so on) In Veneto Region we have the same two flows for all LHAs
