What is NATMS? • The National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) • April 2001 • Tier 3 and 4 (structured) treatment • The National Alcohol Treatment Monitoring System (NATMS) • April 2008 • Subset of NDTMS • 28 data items – reports on primary alcohol clients • DH commissioned • NTA managed • Enables national, regional and local level reporting on alcohol treatment

  4. Accessing the data • NDTMS.net publicly available datahttp://www.ndtms.net/ • NDTMS.net restricted statistics – Quarterly Reporting • NATMS Annual Statistical Reports (08/09 available, 09/10 to be released) http://www.nta.nhs.uk/uploads/natms_annual_statistics_report_2008_2009.pdf • Needs Assessment Data (09/10 to be released)

  5. Publicly Available Data http://www.ndtms.net/

  6. Quarterly (Purple) Reports • NDTMS.net - http://www.ndtms.net/ login to access restricted statistics. Also posted onto DAMS. • 3 reports: • Alcohol PCT • Alcohol Agency (all activity) • Alcohol Agency (PCT of residence) • Alcohol treatment information: In treatment YTD, new presentations, non primary alcohol clients receiving alcohol interventions, exits, waiting times, exit status, referral source, recorded alcohol type. • Alcohol user profile: gender, age group, ethnicity, presenting substances (second and third drugs) • Guidance documents also on NDTMS.net

Future Steps • Release of the needs assessment data (Nov) • The production of an outcomes measure for alcohol treatment • Filling data ‘black-holes’: • Tier 2 Brief Interventions – now reported on in NA • ‘Other structured treatment’ – why so many falling into this category? • The production of a summary sheet for purple reports (if this is felt to be of use)

  16. Summary • Currently 3 quarterly reports produced • New comprehensive needs assessment data to be released soon • 09/10 annual statistical report to updated soon • Looking to improve current purple reports • Any further questions?
