Health Improvement Performance and Development Framework – briefing and discussion event
Part 1: Addiction Health Improvement Framework
• Organisational context, purpose & rationale
• Wider policy and performance context
• Main elements of the framework
• Guidance on use / completion
• Support and development opportunities, including Addiction Health Improvement Network & PEN
Mental Health Partnership: Health Improvement Roles
• MHP has overall governance role in relation to mental health, addictions, homelessness and learning disability
• Includes overseeing health improvement areas of mental health and addiction, hosting two dedicated Health Improvement Teams
• Also important role supporting, resourcing and enabling high quality, evidence-based approaches to addiction health improvement across whole system
Addiction Health Improvement: Proposed Approach
• Emphasis largely on self assessment, while raising awareness on national & local targets
• Dominant focus on support, development and resourcing wider addiction health improvement efforts, in CH(C)Ps and allied structures
• Encouraging mutual support, info sharing and debate on longer term direction of travel – “community of practice”
• Encouraging further needs assessment, research and evaluation in order to “grow” the range of effective responses
Rationale and approach
• Complex, often controversial, area with multiple contributory factors
• Many challenges with monitoring of performance – data sets, “proving” cause and effect, timescales for action
• Evidence base also complex and “emerging”, with many macro-political issues impacting (e.g. UK taxation policy, international market in illicit drugs)
Wider policy and planning context
• Community Planning Partnership, local authority and pan-Board level actions planning – summarised in Corporate Addictions Plan submissions
• Board & Scottish Executive development of H.I. performance management systems – in progress
• CH(C)P level planning, include Development Plans
• Multiple connections to allied planning – children’s services planning, employment, homelessness, equalities, criminal justice, community safety…
Elements of Framework - 1
• Outline of key policies, national and local targets; description of roles and responsibilities
• Range of analysis tools (Appendix 2A and 2B) to facilitate structured work on health improvement planning and delivery
• Provides examples of practical work programmes (2A) that can be implemented, and on which developmental support is available
Elements of Framework - 2
• Allows analysis by key priority and by setting, as appropriate
• These are voluntary tools, but would encourage completion of summary pages (pages 1 to 2 of 2A) as a minimum
• Seek your permission to share summaries – e.g. on addiction HI network systems
• Further active support available in discussing frameworks, local plans and delivery issues
