increasingly been seen as an impediment to development for some DHBs. Strategies for sharing resources within the region in an effective and efficient manner have yet to be fully explored. In 2001 CAMHS managers and clinicians began meeting on regular basis with the purpose of improving co-ordination of services, and to working cooperatively in service delivery, regional planning and workforce development issues. This group identified the need to create greater consistency across the region’s services. This included consistency with entry criteria and intake processes/documentation, consistency with the diagnoses, level of severity and exclusions to acceptance of referrals, prioritisation, screening and triage processes, transfer documentation, management of waiting lists and communication to referrers. In addition the group identified a need to address the provision of after-hours service and regional consumer involvement in services. More recently the Child and Youth Workstream for the Regional Mental Health and Addiction Strategic plan 2005-2010 recommended the establishment of a system for ongoing regional planning and coordination of child and adolescent services. The group identified the need to develop guidelines to ensure consistency of CAMH service access across the region with agreed entry/ exit /transfer criteria and the development of a set of assessment and evidence-based management standards to ensure equitable access to care of a high quality. The Child and Youth Workstream advocated for a number of regional projects to develop the child and adolescent mental health sector. These projects include: 1. The need to develop rural service delivery models to ensure access to CAMH services across the region. 2. The development of an agreed standard of assessment, entry, exit and transfer processes across the CAMHS services in the Northern Region. 3. The development of shared care needs to improve access by children and adolescents across primary, secondary and tertiary services. 4. The joint planning across a number of services ie primary care, child health, adult services (17-19 year olds) and addictions services 5. The development of a strategic approach to increasing capacity and capability of the workforce for child and adolescent mental health services 6. The need to develop service user representation within existing regional MH consumer advocacy services 7. Review and expand services for 5-12 year olds. 8. Further development of services for 0-5 year olds 9. Further development of Maori cultural services to children and adolescents 10. The need to establish Pacific child and adolescent services 11. Further development of consult liaison services in all hospitals It is important that CAMHS development is responsive to new initiatives such as the introduction of Individual Packages of Care to complement existing service; as well as the possibilities that the Primary Care strategy holds for Child and Youth mental health. There is continued demand for strong development of Child and Youth AOD services. Such growth will require engagement from both CAMHS and the AOD sector There are opportunities for addressing the issue of workforce 2
Project goal Deliverables (including measures or indicators of success) development through the establishment of the Werry Centre. At a District Health Board level it has been suggested that the Child and Youth Mental Health sector has not attracted the new funding that it might have otherwise because of the perception that any new staffing positions could not be recruited to. This has been challenged by the Child and Youth Workstream, who advocated a regional approach to workforce recruitment and retention. The project will have several phases to achieve the goal of developing a service delivery framework for the provision of Child and Youth Mental Health services in the Northland region. This will include the design of a sustainable infrastructure to ensure its implementation. Phase One To collect the required information that will be needed to develop a service delivery framework for the provision of Child and Youth Mental Health services across the Northern Region.(Phase Two and Three). Phase One will gather this information from: • NGO services, • Regional DHB Provider Arm services (ie CADS/AOD, EOS, ICCS,YFS/CALS) • Child Health Services (Consult Liaison Starship, General Paediatrics, Developmental Paediatrics, Youth Health). Information gained will complement the project that looked at the commonalities and differences of the CAMHS services (October 2005) The purpose of this will be to • Ascertain the culture of these child and youth services • Gather information on service delivery models currently used. • Identify any issues of access to service ie barriers, areas for improvement • Identify the effectiveness of interface between DHB and NGO child and youth mental health services and with other agencies ie CYF, Youth Justice. This will include the review of any formal agreements for interface and liaison. • Process mapping of a service user and their families’ journey through mental health services. This will assist in looking at the current model of continuum of care. • Identify gaps and barriers in service provision • Look at how access data is collected and utilised • Provide recommendations to enhance the interface and alignment of services in the Northern region Phase Two Development of a service delivery framework for Child and Youth Services in the Northern Region. This will • Develop a service delivery framework for the Northern Region which utilises information from both the CAMHS commonalities and differences project, and the outcomes of Phase One of this project. • Include how an effective continuum of care will be provided across the child and youth services. Benefits of project Phase Three The development of an implementation plan which is inclusive of the design of a sustainable infrastructure. This will provide the direction for service development and improvement for the Child and Youth services until 2010. This will be in line with the Northern Mental Health and Addictions Strategic Directions document 2005-2010. This will then need to be considered by the Northern DHBs for implementation. • Engagement of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Sector 3
