What sounds good and bad about doing things this way? How would it be to have an assessment done by someone who may not be your on-going worker? Would this be a better way of getting into services than the way they entered them? CAPA model explained to Youth Consultation Group Slide 4 Tuesday, 7 April 20154 Problem Refer to CAMHS Letter is sent to the family Choice Appointment Is CAMHS for you? Yes? No? Follow up letter sent and contact ended Partnership What things sound good and bad about this? Slide 5 Tuesday, 7 April 20155 From the horses mouth I go to appointments and think that this is just my time to talk about negative stuff. It would be nice to be looking at my goals and what is going well. It would be more positive Slide 6 Tuesday, 7 April 20156 Like: Dealing with issues identified by the family and young person Match-up between family and clinician based on what the needs are Support put in place while you wait for an appointment Dislike: Its hard to deal with choice when you are sick If I had the choice to go to a service and use it when I was really sick I wouldnt have gone Slide 7 Tuesday, 7 April 20157 What about the one off Choice meeting? As long as you know it is going to happen it is ok Bonus Its good because you know that if you dont like them you wont have to see them again But If you like them and they are the right person, you should have the option of working with them anyway. Slide 8 Tuesday, 7 April 20158 Whats in a name? Choice is good because it explains what your first appointment is all about. Partnership is not so good because it doesnt really mean anything (to youth). However, we couldnt come up with a better name than Partnership Slide 9 Tuesday, 7 April 20159 The Insiders (Youth Consumer Advisors) What we like: Reduced waiting time, choice for time and place of first appointment, gives families the chance to hear about other services that could help them, gives a clear idea of the journey through a service It fits well with consumer participation Slide 10 Tuesday, 7 April 201510 A few statistics Consumer view on how our services work post-CAPA implementation 12-19 year olds (N=53) 66% found Choice appointment useful 83% feel they have been given enough info 100% feel well treated, that their views were taken seriously 100% feel people are working together to help them Slide 11 Tuesday, 7 April 201511 9-11 year olds (N=12) 60% found Choice appointment useful 77% feel they have been given enough info 100% feel well treated, that their views were taken seriously 83% feel people are working together to help them Looks like we are meeting the CAPA goals of creating a therapeutic alliance, focusing on patient goals, information sharing and partnership! Slide 12 Tuesday, 7 April 201512 The final word CAPA is choice... And a much better way to enter the service
