Children and Young People’s ProjectROM Workshops in SalfordRoutine Outcomes Monitoring (ROM) is a key element of the successful implementation of CYP IAPT.Salford collaborative therefore decided, with the support of NHS North West, to run a series of workshopson ROM for all partnerships to raise awareness and support implementation.The workshops had 5 aims: 1) to raise awareness of the key elements of CYP IAPT; 2) to ensure a baselineknowledge of CYP IAPT across the workforce; 3) to introduce and increase awareness of nationallyagreed CYP IAPT measures; 4) to provide an opportunity to experience and test application in practice;and 5) to identify relevant internal and external networks and the necessary resources for successfulimplementation.The one-day workshops were delivered to a total 152 staff members. The majority were attended by asenior manager, which ensured visible strategic ownership and commitment to the successful implementationof CYP IAPT. In several cases data managers attended, providing up to date information on theprogress of the organisations’ IT resources and infrastructure. They were also able to provide insights intothe challenges and potential local solutions with regard to data collection, input and analysis.After the workshops, a survey was distributed and an analysis of participants’ responses showed that morethan 90% found the training very useful (see below):Completed questionnaires Positive (%) Neutral (%) Negative (%)Q1 Awareness of CYP IAPT transformation and itsaims (Aims 1 & 5)91 9 0Q2 Awareness CYP IAPT Routine OutcomeMeasures (Aims 2, 3 & 5)93 7 0Q3 (Activity 1) Using practitioner forms, SDQ,RCADS, clinical bands (Aim 4)94 4 1Q4 Awareness of goal-based outcomes(Aims 2, 3 & 5)94 5 1Q5 (Activity 2) Using GBOs ORS, SRS (Aim 4) 95 3 2Five key themes emerged from the survey:1) Content: those attending recognised and commented upon the amount of information that needed tobe presented, and did not realise the range of outcome measures being considered for use.2) Information technology: there were significant concerns about services’ IT capacity and the lack ofaccess to suitable hardware. IT infrastructure was seen as a major factor affecting the services’ ability tocarry out ROM.3) Effective communication: the majority of those attending the workshops were aware of CYP IAPT andwelcomed the information provided, acknowledging the value of the key principles of CYP IAPT.For more information please see: http://www.iapt.nhs.uk/cyp-iapt9
Children and Young People’s Project4) Infrastructure: The ability of the current CAMHS infrastructure to support the implementation of ROMand CYP IAPT generally was a regular subject of discussion. Concerns were raised in particular about howto include ROMs live in session due to increased service level pressures and expectations.5). Moving forward: a key theme in all of the workshops delivered was a willingness of the workforce tosupport the implementation of the key elements of CYP IAPT, recognising that many of the deliverableswere, in fact, markers of an effective CAMHS.In summary, ROM requires a cultural shift for many organisations and requires a high level of supportfor successful implementation. We have found a significant degree of enthusiasm for the use of ROM inpractice. Ensuring effective communication to the entire workforce is one of the most challenging aspectsof CYP IAPT. The project is complex and ambitious, and its continued successful implementation will to agreat degree depend upon the goodwill of the committed workforce.AcknowledgementsWe would like to acknowledge the support of all the partnerships within the Manchester LearningCollaborative and thank all those who attended the workshops for the valuable contributions made.Coming soon• Special edition: a newsletter dedicated to outcomes and evaluation is coming out in January.• Save the date: we are hosting a joint workshop for all those who attended the service leads course inyear 1 and 2 in London at 1 pm on Friday 8th February 2013.
