“…In the future, we hope to refine and expand consumer-oriented program reviews. Further development of consumer satisfaction interviews may some day contribute to measurable parameters for the continuing monitoring of psychiatric care and for the development of consumer-oriented standards (Fauman, 1990;Valentine, Verhey, Hundert, and Kayne, 1990). An increasing trend toward client-driven mental health care delivery sys-…”

This chapter describes an approach developed in San Francisco to contribute to the goal of developing consumer-guided mental health services. This approach uses existing quality assurance procedures to achieve widespread integration of mental health service consumers and other community members in the review of clinical programs. Community volunteers not only participate in site visits to clinical programs but have specific responsibility for interviewing program clients, to generate consumer satisfaction data that can be used in evaluation of clinical services. This initiative builds on a long history of community participation in program reviews in San Francisco. It represents a collaborative effort of community members and mu1 tidisciplinary quality assurance staff teams, including registered nurses. The quality assurance program is under the supervision of a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist.Background

A standardized documentation system is presented for detailed description and analysis of treatment procedure for psychiatric inpatients. In the first step of a pilot study limited to patients with depressive syndromes at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Mainz, for each subject the clinical status was assessed weekly using psychopathological ratings and depicted in its temporal course along with therapeutic activities. Visualization of the treatment process turned out to be useful for everyday work by supporting the application of practice guidelines for clinical decisions. Beyond optimization of the individual treatment process, aggregation of the data also allows global assessment of treatment processes in the clinic. Thus, in addition to established basic documentation, the presented documentation procedure allows the development of a powerful quality management system in psychiatric clinics, due to its process orientation. Moreover, in psychiatric care research, it is an adequate basis for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment procedures.
