  5. Mental Health Services in SBHCs With (n=655) and Without (n=277) Mental Health Providers * P<.01

  6. Mental Health Services in SBHCs • Fastest growing component of SBHC. • In ten years, the percentage of SBHCs with mental health staff went from 30% to over 65%. • Survey of SBHC providers in 2004/2005 found that expansion of mental health services was the first priority for program funding.

  7. Need for Quality Improvement in Mental Health in SBHCs • Increased recognition that objective measures were needed for SBHC quality of care, especially in mental health • Such a measure would need to recognize: • Many disciplines • Wide range of interventions • Limited translational research around best practice in schools

  8. Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) at NASBHC • Seeks to improve all performance not just areas of unacceptable care. • Focuses on the processes of health care delivery and use of research-based approaches to reduce variations in those processes. • Need to understand and revise process in order to improve quality • 2001 - NASBHC developed CQI tool to assess clinically based sentinel conditions, including MH

  9. MHPET Development • January 2004 NASBHC convened a workgroup to develop an evaluation tool • Based on School Mental Health Quality Assessment Questionnaire (MH-QAQ) developed by Mark Weist et al. at the Center for School Mental Health • Broadened questions from clinician to program level • Expanded questions to be more inclusive of school staff and non-mental health providers • Shortened, fewer dimensions and indicators

  10. MH-QAQ School Mental Health Quality Assessment Questionnaire (MH-QAQ) • Developed by Mark Weist et al. at the Center for School Mental Health (CSMH) http://csmha.umaryland.edu/research.html/quality_assessment.html • Part of first ever systematic study “Enhancing quality in expanded school mental health” of school mental health quality assessment and improvement (QAI) • This study was supported by theNational Institute of Mental Health

  11. MHPET Beta-test • 41 individuals completed the MHPET tool • 20 mental health providers • 11 medical providers • 6 support staff members • 4 administrators • 21 unique SBHC sites were represented (Talbot - 9, Illinois - 5, Seattle - 3, Montefiore - 4)

  12. MHPET Beta-test • Responded to interview questions • Revised and finalized tool accordingly: • generalized to school mental health • changed name (“program” to “planning”) • simplified dimensions and language • included substance abuse

  13. Beta-test on-line MHPET • Beta-test with 29 participants in 6 schools (3 SBHCs) in Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Little Rock, and Worchester • Teams completed both sets of MHPET and were given follow-up interview questions • Team leads participated in conference calls • Based on feedback, adjusted web links and revised instructions (e.g. clarified role of participants and team leads)

  14. MHPET web-based tool • Now online www.nasbhc.org under “mental health” section • Set up to be completed by teams • Teams complete tool and go back 3-6 months later to complete a second time • Computer generates scores
