Models of Care
Models of Care is a national framework that aims to guide the development of drug treatment services, so that they are delivered in a consistent and equitable manner.
The CDP continues to develop within this framework and provides:
Tier One:
taking referrals from non specialists
Tier Two:
advice, information and assessment services
Tier Three:
structured care planned interventions for people who particularly do not require prescribing
What are we hoping will be achieved with Models of Care?
- An effective system of treatment and care that is needs led and evidence based
- A local consensus amongst professionals and service users on the best care pathways
- Clarity of our own roles and those of other agencies within the local treatment system
- Service user information is communicated appropriately, effectively and efficiently, when it is shared between services
- A clear system of care coordination to ensure that a service user receives the necessary assistance in an effective and timely manner, when they require specialist services from more than one agency
- Effective monitoring processes, arrived at through dialogue, that contribute to a cycle of continuous quality improvement
