HI Mike,

 

Generally we find it requires an average of 30 mins in multidisciplinary
tx team meetings. Details can be found in the attachment.

 

Best,

Tonia

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.

                Mike
