Residential Rehab Outcomes Project

Work is already underway on the project, with the software some 70% complete and protocols in draft form. The following is an outline of the project time-line, though this is subject to amendment.

Initial Consultation – July

The initial consultation is now complete. Please see the consultation page for more information.

Implementation Consultation – August / September
 
Assuming the response is sufficiently positive to press on, a more in depth consultation will focus on Commissioners.

• Finalising the reporting data-set
• Usability of the software application

Initial Pilot - October

This will involve a small number of care managers using the software with live client data, to identify outstanding issues and bring us to a general rollout of the project.

Rollout – December / January

Care managers from across the country would be invited to begin using the software live. If possible, we would like data on clients currently in treatment to be back-dated so the body of data will build up more quickly.

Provisional reporting – April 2009

Although it might not be statistically significant, in a research sense, the volume of data collated by the end of Q4 should have some utility to care managers and providers.
