Background and aims

In 2016/17, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust commenced work to embed outcome measurement in routine practice through the psychological medicine clinical network.


Solution

Adopting the framework for routine outcome measurement in liaison psychiatry transformed the reports the participants sent to commissioners and managers and enabled the services to analyse what they were doing, whether they were helping and include patients’ own words to describe their experience.


Additional information

You can find out more about the work to embed outcomes measurement within liasion psychiatry services by accessing the NHS Mental Health Comissioning Network page.
