Improving the Appropriateness of Referrals From Primary to Secondary Care Confounded by the COVID Era: Student Status and Quality of Referral Evaluation in Oxford City Team (SQUARE-OCT)

[摘要] Aims The Oxford City and NE Oxon Adult Mental Health Team (AMHT) is an adult mental health team receiving referrals from GPs for most cases suspected to have a mental health illness requiring secondary mental health services’ input in Oxford city. In January 2020, the team was remodelled with care coordinators working in separate functions based on the duration AMHT support was required for, i.e. an assessment team and a treatment team, but with medics covering both functions of the team. This quality improvement project examines AMHT referrals over 2020/21, hypothesising a reduction in the proportion of inappropriate referrals following the remodelling compared to a 2018/19 pre-remodelling audit.
