DD Network Event October 2013 – Care Co-ordinationFocus Group Feedback • Step 3 of the Leeds DD Care Co-ordination protocol focuses on models of care and care co-ordination DD Care Pathway Evaluation 2013 identified - • The term care co-ordination is synonymous with the Care Programme Approach (CPA) • People may often be accessing services that CPA doesn’t apply to e.g. drug/alcohol, voluntary sector mental health and mental health housing support • When people are not under CPA the monitoring of joint working is often informal
Focus Group Question • Alternative to “Care Co-ordination” • How is care co-ordinated when people are not under CPA? • How should care be co-ordinated when people are not under CPA? • How could the Dual Diagnosis Network + Lead Practitioners role be improved in the future?
Leeds Dual Diagnosis Care Co-ordination Protocol is due for review in 2014 • Rename ‘Joint Working Protocol’ • Use Term Lead Worker/Agency
2 - How is care co-ordinated when people are not under CPA? . • If multiple agencies are involved often no one takes the lead to co-ordinate care and services can feel disjointed • No standards or co-ordination across services – difficult to liaise to arrange meetings • Currently very fragmented • Poor planning • A culture change is needed in some services to allow liaison / conversations • More respect for each other
3 - How should care be co-ordinated when people are not under CPA? • Better pre-planning to identify most appropriate person • Joint support planning • A formalised joint working plan/protocol • Shared systems/ IT system available to all • Must have SU at the centre and they should be as involved as possible • Include those most involved i.e. families and carers
4 - How could the Dual Diagnosis Network + Lead Practitioners role be improved in the future? • Opportunities to develop/map innovative practice and share information • “Knowledge bank” for the role of practitioners • Consult/engage with families, carers or SU • Using current resources better – supporting link working and joint care • Deciding what incidence of dual diagnosis within a service warrants a level 3 practitioner
MOVING FORWARD – THE NEXT YEAR • Action Plan for 2014 agreed with commissioners via DD Strategy Group • 3 Key actions for 2014 • For Leeds to have a clear DD Statement of Purpose • To ensure Leeds has an agreed DD Competency Framework + Training Programme • To ensure Leeds has a robust DD strategic plan for the future
3. To ensure Leeds has a robust DD strategic plan for the future • Systematically gather information on perceptions of key DD project stakeholders = Focus groups involving the DD Expert Reference Group, DD Working Group, lead practitioners + carers 1. Whose needs are and aren’t being met? 2. What are the barriers + solution for clients who don’t fit services? 3. If things could be done differently how would they be done / how would they work? 4. What is the role of the DD network + services supporting DD clients in the future? • How can the disconnection between service users, practitioners, service mangers + commissioners be overcome? Report used to inform the new mental health framework being developed for the city, re-commissioning of substance use services + action plan linked to DD statement of purpose
Focus Group Dates • Practice Development Session – 6th June • DD Working Group – 16th July • ERG conference –18th June • Accommodation Gateway – 7th July • Complex Needs Clients – LYPFT, ASC + Community Links Its an opportunity to have your say and influence future commissioning and service development!
