Answer: Briefly describe the usefulness and uniqueness of your social venture | A successful public mental health strategy requires long-term commitment, multi-agency working and co-ordination, as well as a sense of common purpose from all stakeholders in Liverpool. | ||||||
1: | Greater emphasis on prevention | ||||||
1: Issues to be addressed by this social venture (or case) | Greater emphasis on prevention
and the responsibility individuals
have themselves. Unhealthy choices
and missed prevention
opportunities are in part the cause
of the growth in the prevalence of
conditions such as diabetes,
depression, and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease. Working with their local partners, every primary care trust will commission comprehensive wellbeing and prevention services. | ||||||
2: | World Class Commissioning is necessary | ||||||
2: What is the unique idea to solve the issues? | National consultations (Department of Health, 2007) have confirmed the
importance that mental health and well-being
has for the public and this is strengthened by
the extensive research evidence that supports
this strategy. The introduction of World Class Commissioning offers many opportunities to improve the mental health and well-being of our local population through earlier interventions. |
||||||
3: | from diagnosis and treatment toprevention and well-being | ||||||
3: Revenue Model & Organization | The determination to intervene earlier confirms
the vision statement from DH that world class
commissioning will be epivotal in shifting the
focus of care from diagnosis and treatment to
prevention and well-beingf (Department of Health, 2008). Consideration will need to be given to longer-term commissioning plans and intentions to realise this objective and to maintain a developing equilibrium between newly commissioned services for earlier intervention and those that provide treatment, care support and recovery pathways for those experiencing mental illnesss. |
||||||
4: | The need anddetermination for the commissioningand implementation of preventionservices is paramount | ||||||
4: Targeted Benefit & Outcome | Even with optimal services in place
only 40% of the burden of mental
illness is averted – the need and
determination for the commissioning
and implementation of prevention
services is paramount. (OfHara K, Stansfield J, Crowson T. 2008) The saving in costs, (both human and economic) by reducing, for example, conduct disorder and in promoting positive mental health in children through earlier intervention is evidenced below: - Preventing conduct disorders in those children who are most disturbed would save around £150,000 per case in lifetime costs - Promoting positive mental health in those children with moderate mental health would yield benefits over the life course of around £75,000 per case (Friedli L. 2008) - In comparison the intervention cost, per child, for parenting programmes would be in the range £1,350 to £6,000 |
