Residential Rehab Outcomes Project

The initial consultation was an online survey (July 2008), with invitations sent to everyone who had registered on the site. It must be stressed that the response rate was very small, with only 12 people completing the survey this is clearly not representative of the field. The information was however very useful (thank you..)

The consultation suggested that providers welcomed the project in principle, though there are many concerns about TOPS. Discussion of the results of the July consultation can be found here. 

A summary of actions we take from the initial consultation are:

• Look again at how to strengthen the dataset, particular in the identification of confounding factors that impact treatment outcomes.
• Improve the explanation about TOPS and request alternative suggestions.
• Discuss how private funded clients might be covered by the project.
• Consider how providers might be involved in data collection.
