We have worked with a range of clients in support of
their IAPT implementation and enabled them to gain
access to a rich seam of information about their IAPT
services.
Our work and approach are highly engaging and
interactive, so that local stakeholders will contribute to,
understand and support your action plans.
3. Test
We test-out the pattern of appointments v follow-up,
assessment v treatment, mean days between
appointments and attrition rates within the pathway
4. Identify
We can help providers and commissioners to answer a
range of critical questions which enable them to target
resources in the most change and cost efficient way,
questions include:
We identify scenarios to change and improve those
services in line with local ideas, and best practice
1. What would be the costs and benefits if all current
services were staffed to establishment?
5. Simulate
2. What is the impact of different referral processes and
referral intervals on the way people progress through
care?
3. What would be the optimum balance of treatment
modalities (for example, individual v group work) to
match our capacity with expected demand?
4. How should IAPT relate to secondary care mental
health services and meet the demands for physical
health needs?
5. How is movement through the IAPT pathways
associated with local recovery rates and what are the
optimal waits between treatment episodes?
6. What would the impact be upon waiting times if the
target levels of referrals were received within the
current capacity?
We will simulate the potential impact of each of those
changes and see how these relate to contingent factors
such as people with long-term physical conditions
6. Model and agree
We will model and agree the pattern of changes which will
achieve the impact you need
7. Implement
We will develop and support the implementation of an
action plan including optimal staffing / role models

2. Build
We will build and interpret a detailed simulation model
of the way your services work at the moment, including
