Concern that therapist may not be suitably qualified to record diagnosis
Further guidance has been developed. IAPT Expert Reference Group to investigate further
Request to supply a standard set of diagnosis codes
Most appropriate ICD-10 codes for anxiety & depression have been selected
8. Consultation - examples of outputs Some data items assessed as clinically ambiguous or irrelevant
reviewed by the IAPT Expert Reference Group
employment status amended
referred problem removed
Some corrections to align data items with data dictionary
Some of the comments asked for an expansion of functionality
out of scope at this time

23. Review outputs of assembly process:
24. Diagnostic report on IDB tables Diagnostic report:
Features:
Reports on pre-assembly source data in IDB
Current uses - checks
Links with MPI table
Blank tables (eg MHAC, KWASS)
Lack of synch between WARDSTAYS and IPEP
Any others?
29. MHMDS Assembler investigation
30. MHMDS Assembler investigation Investigation into functionality of the assembler and usefulness of diagnostic report.xls and report.txt
Opportunity to express views, issues, concerns on assembler and influence redesign of output reports
So far consulted with three groups London, Birmingham and Leeds
Please let me know your thoughts
Summary of initial findings
..
31. Assembler investigation - so far
. The assembler:
Rules and validations
Spell creation
Table linkages and impact of not linking
Reporting period versus use made of all data within IDB
DNAs and episode start dates
Automatic closing of episodes
Definitional issues
32. Assembler investigation - so far
. 2. Report.txt
Usefulness of report
Interpreting the report
Too much repetition of the same error
Need to aggregate as error counts ?
3. Diagnostic report.xls
Overly long?
Only use selected tables?
Not using the report at all?
Uncertainty as to how to interpret?
33. Future reporting outputs Undecided:
Single report ?
Pre and post assembly reports ?
Decided:
Greater description of errors
More user friendly
More useful in assessing data quality and assembler processing
34. Guidance now and in future Use what already exists offer lots of useful guidance and assistance
Not yet decided what output of investigation will be - Amendment to existing publications and/or new publication ?
A need to describe the step by step assembly process
Please get involved
..

38. Independent Sector collection of MHMDS
39. Independent Sector collection of MHMDS Standard contract
The NHS standard contract covers agreement between PCTs and providers for the delivery of NHS funded services
Level playing field for all providers
2009/10 Interim standard contract
2010/11 standard contract operational
Planned to be issued mid December following the release of the operating framework
40. Independent Sector collection of MHMDS Data collection and flow
Proposed phased in collection larger providers first
From April 2012 all providers collecting and flowing data
Discussion underway between some providers and CfH on establishing data flows N3 must be used
Discussions underway regarding some providers becoming N3 aggregators to support smaller providers
Guidance developed to specifically support Independent sector will be placed onto IC web site in near future
43. Indicators
Used by CQC for Periodic Review 2009-10
Completeness of the MHMDS
Data quality of ethnic group
Patterns of care for MHMDS
Numerator (0809 definition)
Count of records that fulfill the following criteria:
Discharges (mental health) >0
CPA level (at end of reporting period) = 2
End date (mental health care spell) = blank or after the end of snapshot date

64. PSA16 improving the collection of data on employment and accommodation in Mental Health Minimum Data Set Want to cover 3 things
1. NIs 143-150 a.k.a. PSA 16 in central govt socially excluded adults PSA: what it is, why it matters
2. Delivery issues on the ground the challenges and how HRS helps to overcome them
3. Touch on role of 3rd sector organisations and resilience
Key message is: Addressing multiple needs Securing multiple benefits

66. Public Service Agreements are the Governments top delivery priorities - send national policy signal about what matters. 30 new PSAs announced in the Comprehensive Spending Review in October 2007. They are commitments to improve outcomes, e.g. Make communities safer; Promote better health and wellbeing for all. They are based on indicators with regular public reporting and scrutiny and responsibility usually cuts across a number of government departments.
PSA 16 = target to improve outcomes for socially excluded adults. Goal is a home and a job - basic components of living - for adults particularly at risk of social exclusion. It is a challenging target - as Ill go on to explain - and is a priority area for several different government organisations.
This is not the sum total of policy interest on social exclusion. There are other PSAs:
e.g..PSA 11 to narrow gap in educational achievement for children from low incomes and disadvantaged backgrounds; PSA 17 tackling poverty and promoting greater independence and well being in later life.
Plus there is the broader set of programmes and work I mentioned earlier.
How will an adults facing social exclusion PSA help?
Encourage prevention and early intervention, by focusing on transition points when individuals can be helped to avoid long-term exclusion
Promote joint working, by setting out a shared cross-Government commitment to tackling exclusion
Focus resources, by sending a clear signal that helping these groups is a Government priority
Incentivise and drive delivery, through a clear performance management framework for tackling social exclusion amongst adults and for monitoring and managing progress
Contribute to the achievement of wider outcomes, for example community cohesion, worklessness, reoffending
Save money as the future costs of exclusion are prevented

67. LUNCH Afternoon session starts 13.45
68. Contact details Id like to finish with a call to do what you can to help make progress on this through your day job, through sharing your learning, and helping those of us in national government understand the issues better and help us act accordingly. Ive also included a couple of websites to find out more about our work and add to the national on-line conversations.
So I hope what Ive said has helped to set out the context and will stimulate ideas and encourage work with socially excluded adults.
Addressing multiple needs to secure multiple benefits challenging but worth it.
Ive included a few questions to prompt discussion but first hand over to

69. MENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION EVENT PSA 16 IMPROVING DATA COLLECTION DH PERSPECTIVEDAVID DANIELDEPARTMENT OF HEALTHMental Health Division
70. What is collected? Two key items. Both apply to the following target group. Those aged 18 to 69 who are receiving secondary mental health services and who are on the Care Program Approach
The employment status: Employed, unemployed, other inc. education or training (or otherwise economically inactive)
The accommodation status: Settled or unsettled
71. Weve covered the what and the why. Lets address the How! There are two key processes a) counting and monitoring, and b) Improving Performance
There is a two way interaction between a) and b) but I want to concentrate on a) here
72. Counting and monitoring Collection is normally at a CPA review. This should be at least once a year and given that most of these users will have severe/complex needs we might expect it to happen more frequently
Clinical engagement matters. Not just down to you but you can help!
73. Pass on messages about why employment and accommodation are so important for mental health users. And that central government treats them as one of its top priorities. Does the Cabinet Office have any other PSA than the one on social exclusion?
74. We recognise that IT is a major issue. But the current evidence is that there is no Silver bullet or White Knight which will suddenly arrive.
Most Trusts are NOT relying on CfH software. But two Trusts which use the same software whether CfH or not can have very different performances in terms of data completeness.
75. CONCLUDING MESSAGES Be focussed on encouraging recording and communicate the Why and the How
Share and learn from your colleagues in other Trusts
Aim to get really good data for Q4 2009-10 and the whole of 2010-11
