The length of time required for the first START varies depending on the case.
We have some additional paperwork that we require related to histories relevant
to the Specific Risk Estimates and several static factors, but my impression is
that it takes at least an hour for the first one.
I think that the amount of time required to complete subsequent STARTs varies
by team, but I think it typically takes about 30 minutes.
Best,
Alex

Thanks Chris, Sarah and Steve for your helpful responses.
I think the items are ideal areas for consideration when assessing strengths
and risks, but also for the assessment of physical, psychological, social and
political needs. As you know we are piloting the START to do this as part of
applying the health career model.
Initial feedback was good but the e-proforma we used (which included evidence
boxes, formulation and intervention sections), was felt to take too long and
many never fully completed it. In a sense we 'overcooked' the process as
previous version was broadly welcomed! Therefore, attempting to make
adjustments to make the process more efficient and practically useful. Will
feedback to the group in due course.
Another query; on average how long do people find the START takes to complete?
Thanks again.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Not sure I can add much. But, obviously, the HCR-20 provided a
platform for us.And having a couple of senior, very experienced,nurses
(Mary-Lou and Connie) made the essential difference. Somewhat later, as I
explained in a paper given at the Montreal IAFMHS meeting on our joint behalf,
I realized that a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms could have saved us some
work. I really do,though, believe that the only way to set up an SPJ device
that has any hope of working is to establish a small group of colleagues
willing to work together assiduously until the task is done. It is not a task
for a committee and it is not a task for an individual person. It should, of
course, be a topic to be studied and researched in its own right.
Thanks, Roger, for getting this going! Cheers(We should be a
formidable presence in Vcvr) Chris.
