  1. Rapid Analysis of Mental Services (RAMS)An overview of correlates of high service utilisation in South-East Metropolitan Melbourne A/Prof Fabrizio Carinci Director, Centre for Health Systems Research February 2003

  2. Rapid Analysis of Mental Services (RAMS)A phase - Approch we’ve got new questions for Mental Health Services… 1. explore correlates of high demand and utilisation of health services both at the individual and organisational level 2. build user interfaces that would allow to simplify and automate the procedure of rapid analysis of mental services

  3. Rapid Analysis of Mental Services (RAMS)SD phase - Scaling down operational data Database Team MIHSR Medical Informatics Leader (B.Cesnik) MIHSR Database manager (D.Anderson) SH Database manager (R.Thornton) Clinical Experts (S.Damodaran,A.Yontchev)

  4. Rapid Analysis of Mental Services (RAMS)QT Phase (Question Time) Population Health Research Team Clinical Leader (P.Talman) Epidemiologist (E.Villanueva) Statistician (F.Carinci) Clinical Experts (S.Damodaran,A.Yontchev) • Main clinical question: • Identification of individual and structural characteristics associated to an increased rate of “events” in terms of the following outcome indicators: • abnormal length of stay • readmissions • excessive utilisation of mental services (“frequent flyers”) • Population: • Southern Health mental health catchment area • Time of observation: • 1/10/1999 - 30/9/2002

  5. Rapid Analysis of Mental Services (RAMS)OD Phase - Outcomes Definition 1.HIGHLOS (TTLOS>45) Total 3-year LOS per subject > 45 days (75%) 2.HIGHCONT (N_CONT>100) More than 100 Contacts during the last 3-years (75%) 3.REVOLVE (N_ADM>3) “Revolving Door patient” No.Admissions >3 during the last 3 years 4.EARLREHOSP Rehospitalisation within 28 days 5.ADMLOS (TLOS>28) Single Admission Episode longer than 28 days 6.READM Readmission 7. NLS (LOS>28) “New Long Stay” Consecutive in-hospital presence > 28 days Analysis of the Literature Analyst/Statistician (F.Carinci) Epidemiologist (E.Villanueva)

  13. Conclusions / Action lines • RAMS has produced a model to scale down CMI and perform rapid analysis for population health • Results of predictive modelling are relevant to the organisation of health services • The longitudinal structure of the model may be applied at the patient level • Validated concepts and statistical results may be incorporated into CMI to support integrated care • RAMS carries forward the SPHIS model, now capable of including contacts in the community Areas of improvement: • CMI lacks important information on known predictors of patient outcomes (medicines, compliance) that should be incorporated in the database to be relevant for fully integrated care • Overall health services utilisation is underestimated. Admissions for mental health patients not related to mental health services are not currently included. • A direct consequence is that comorbidity is underreported. CMI does include few non-MH diagnoses. • All the above factors may induce uncontrollable bias in all statistical analyses. For instance, the impact of chronic diseases, excessive use of medicines or non compliance is practically unknown. • Action plan: • Finalisation of the project report • Refinement and publication of the results in collaboration with the clinical experts • Publication and update of all SPHIS/RAMS material on dedicated website • Presentation of the model to users/DHS • Preparation of drafts for further development (data linkage with VAED/PBS, state-level analysis, national and international comparative studies)
