The value of a written model of care

A written model of care provides a shared set of goals, ways and means to deliver measurable health gains for patients. Specialist mental health services are delivered by experts and driven by excellence. Setting goals, describing resources and processes, relating treatments to health gains through measurement based care is a foundation for all that follows in a modern specialist mental health service.
