What is a
POMH-UK QIP topic?
POMH-UK identifies specific topics within mental health
prescribing practice, based on recommendations by member Trusts and
partner organisations. For each Topic, we develop and run a
QIP: a clinical audit cycle, with customised change interventions,
to help member organisations measure and improve quality in that
area of practice.
How are QIP topics selected?
The criteria for adopting topics are:
- Relevant to the implementation of particular NICE
guideline(s);
- High cost, high volume, or high risk treatment
- Seen as a clinical priority for Trusts nationally by
clinicians
- Seen as a clinical priority for Trusts nationally by service
users
- Change in practice that achieves the standards is likely to
have a positive impact on clinical care and outcomes
- Likely variation in practice across Trusts
- Clear standards can be formulated that relate to prescribing
practice
- It would be practical and feasible to collect the relevant
audit data
To propose a QIP Topic to POMH-UK for audit and quality
improvement please either fill out the online
Topic proposal form or contact us with details of your
suggestion, including any supporting information that will help us
determine whether the topic meets the 8 criteria above.
Topic programme
POMH schedules audits to run throughout the year, and your
Trust can participate in any or all of
them. Get the most up-to-date programme of the
topics POMH is running.
