What is the Early Intervention in Psychosis audit?
The Early Intervention in Psychosis
audit was a quality improvement programme commissioned by
Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) on behalf of NHS
England, and awarded to the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Centre
for Quality Improvement (CCQI).
Early intervention in psychosis services are
specialist community services providing care and treatment to
people who are experiencing their first episode of psychosis, and
for those who are at high risk of developing psychosis. The
EIP audit helped to establish the extent to which these services
comply with a framework of NICE standards of care, NICE
quality standard for psychosis and schizophrenia in adults
(QS80), which put particular emphasis on early access, physical
health, family intervention and supported employment
programmes.
The results of the audit provided a national
overview of the EIP services’ quality of care in England relative
to those standards. In addition, the audit enabled participating
services to identify their strengths as well as the areas of
improvement.
The audit used a minimum data set based as far
as possible on routinely collected data sources which will
included:
- Organisational
data
- Clinical case note audit
data
Data collection took take place
in November-December 2015 .
