Aims and objectives
The overall objective of this project is to assess the potential impact of care/treatment for people with schizophrenia, before and during the introduction of the national Clinical Standards, through the collection of user validated outcome measures.
The specific aims of this project are:
- To establish the routine collection of user-centred and pragmatic outcome data for people with schizophrenia living in different health board areas in Scotland
- To describe the pattern of outcomes at 3 time points
- To assess the impact of the introduction of the Clinical Standards for Schizophrenia on clinical effectiveness
- To assess the feasibility of routinely collecting outcome data throughout the mental health service in Scotland
- To assess the resource use associated with routine collection of outcome data throughout the mental health services involved, and the issues this raises with respect to the implementation of the Standards.
