“…For the HoNOS65þ the results were more variable. When 50 professionals rated a video of a patient there was 'difficulty achieving acceptable inter-rater reliability' for items 10, 11 and 12 (Allen et al, 1999). It could be argued that these are very difficult areas to assess using such an indirect method.…”

“…A wide range of professionals in multi-disciplinary teams for older people have used both instruments successfully Burns et al, 1999a;Macdonald, 2002). However, some reported the HoNOS65þ to be 'laborious' in routine clinical practice (Allen et al, 1999).…”

“…The development of a glossary for the HoNOS65þ was intended to tailor the items specifically for use with older people. These were described above in relation to the development of the instrument and the glossary has been tightened up in routine clinical practice (Allen et al, 1999).…”

The Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) were developed to provide a single index in order to enable the government target 'to improve significantly the health and social functioning of mentally ill people' to be quantified. They were intended to be applicable to all adults (including older people), across a wide range of settings so that services in different localities could be compared and changes both within individuals and within services could be measured. In 1999 the HoNOS65+ was launched with a modified glossary for older people. The HoNOS has been formally adopted as the preferred outcome measure for adults of working age. There has been no such formal adoption of the HoNOS65+, or any other outcome measure, for mental health services for older people. This review summarises how the HoNOS was originally developed and validated. Studies with older people, which have used both the original definitions and those developed for the HoNOS65+ are reviewed focusing on data on the reliability and validity of the HoNOS and HoNOS65+ with older people. Finally the question of whether the HoNOS or HoNOS65+ is suitable as an outcome measure in routine clinical practice in services for older people is addressed.

“…To measure severity, and ultimately outcome, Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS) (Wing et al, 1996) and its variant HoNOS for elderly people (HoNOS65+) (Allen et al, 1999;Burns et al, 1999) were selected because they form part of the mental health minimum data-set and are consequently recommended in the National Service Framework (Department of Health, 1999).…”

Reconciling the information needs of clinicians, managers and commissioners – a pilot project

Aims and MethodClinicians are often required, by managers, to provide information that does not appear relevant to clinical practice. Rooted in compromise, an outcome-based information model that supports practice and also provides information for managers was developed. A 9–month pilot project at three sites in South-East London took place to test the feasibility of this model in real clinical settings.ResultsAccurate data were reliably collected. Clinicians at participating sites agreed the model produced potentially useful information and, on condition that support is provided, continue to collect data voluntarily.Clinical ImplicationsThis is not an exclusively clinical model. However, because it also fulfils management needs there is a better chance that clinicians will get the support they need.
