简要总结
Advance Choice Documents (ACDs) are statements of preferences for mental health care and treatment made when service users have capacity to do so. This is done with their care team and others as desired, e.g. carers/supporters or advocates. In addition to improving therapeutic relationships, ACDs have been shown to reduce compulsory psychiatric admissions by 25%.
South London and Maudsley is currently implementing ACDs into routine practice across its services and the Advance Choice Document Implementation (ACDI) project, run by researchers at King's College London, is supporting the development of related resources and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the implementation. Advisory groups will also guide the study approach throughout.
The project comprises four work packages. Work Package 1 involves focus groups with stakeholders (service users, carers, staff) to inform implementation for Older Adults and CAMHS services. This is to understand the barriers and facilitators for ACD implementation in these services; and learn what adaptations are needed to the ACD resources and procedures for use in these services
Work Package 2 is a prospective study of ACD completion and use throughout all directorates. This will comprise interviews with service users after ACD creation and after an event where the ACD is expected to have been used; interviews with their care-team during expected use events; and interviews/focus groups with staff facilitating the creation of ACDs to understand the integration of their role in SLaM.
Work Package 3 is a retrospective study examining the impact of ACD creation on health service use and routinely collected outcomes. Work Package 4 is a prospective study of ACD use and its relationship to ACD content. Work Packages 3 and 4 will use de-identified data collected via South London an Maudsley's Clinical Records Interactive search System (CRIS).
