The inclusion of
Alcohol Treatment within
Payment by Results
for Mental Health
PbR in the NHS
 Payment by Results (PbR) was introduced in the NHS acute
sector in 2003/04
 PbR was a move away from sweeping block contracts towards
payment for activity delivered
 Price x Activity = Providers’ income
 PbR provides a clear and transparent method of funding, where
the money follows the patient/service user
 Mental Health began developing PbR in 2005, but alcohol
treatment was not developed at that stage (cluster 9 – blank)
 Bringing alcohol treatment within PbR is seen as a natural
progression.

Products needed for PbR
1. National approach to assign individual into needs
based clusters (= to Health Resource Groups)
• Clustering tools
2. Define needs-based packages of care
3. Identify outcome measures
4. Develop a Minimum Data Set to capture
• Assessment / Clusters
• Treatment journey
• Outcomes
5. Capture costs for treating each cluster
• To inform local tariff setting

Alcohol development process
• DH convened a Steering Group (from October 2010)
– Royal Colleges
– Professional bodies
– Membership organisations and
– other government departments
• DH advised by an Expert Group (from November 2010)
– Psychiatrists
– Nurses
– Commissioners
– Data managers; and
– Senior managers from services,
– NHS
– Voluntary sector

Alcohol development process
• Pilot areas invited to test products (invited July 2011)
– Middlesbrough
– Nottingham
– Rotherham; and
– Wakefield
• All progress reported to Mental Health PbR Product

Alcohol Clusters
• ‘Filling-in’ Mental Health PbR Cluster 9
• Need to assess
– Level of dependence

– Level of health and social functioning or disability

Packages of Care
• NICE guidance defines these packages
(http://guidance.nice.org.uk/CG115)
• NICE - STOP looking at care - service by service
– Detox, Residential Rehab, Day Treatment; etc
• NICE - START looking at packages / stages of care:
– Assessment & engagement
– Care planning & case management
– Withdrawal management
– Addressing physical and psychiatric co-morbidity
– Psychosocial interventions
– Pharmacotherapy
– Recovery, aftercare & reintegration
12
NICE Package of care:
Moderate / Severe dependence
with complex needs (Cluster 4)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Assessment / Engagement / Motivational enhancement:
–
Use AUDIT, SADQ/LDQ and units per day to determine dependence
–
Determine level of risk and the presence of co-existing problems recorded by use of
HONOS/SARN
–
In-depth medical (physical & psychiatric) assessment will be necessary
–
Deliver motivational enhancement to promote engagement
Care Planning / Care co-ordination and Case management:
–
A care plan
–
Case management lasting at least 12 months (frequent appointments in the first 6 months)
Withdrawal management:
–
Most likely inpatient care (but upon assessment may be met through outpatient care)
–
Post withdrawal assessment of mental health issues and cognitive function
Psychosocial interventions:
–
A package of 12 weeks of CBT (based in a day treatment programme)
–
Residential rehabilitation of up to 12 weeks may be required
Pharmacotherapy:
–
For relapse prevention - acamprosate or naltrexone (or disulfiram if indicated) for one year.
–
This should be delivered in conjunction with psychosocial interventions
Physical and Psychiatric co-morbidity: These should be managed according to appropriate
NICE guidelines
Recovery / Aftercare / Reintegration: Encouragement should be given to engage in self-help
groups such as AA or SMART Recovery. Referral to employment services, assistance with
housing and benefits may be required.

Challenges to services
•
•
•
•
•
Assessment / Engagement / Motivational enhancement:
– Training in the use of HoNOS / SARN
– Interpreting scores & assigning to “clusters”
Care Planning / Care co-ordination and Case management:
– Providing case management for up to a year
Withdrawal management:
– “For mild to moderate dependence and complex needs, or severe
dependence, offer an intensive community programme following
assisted withdrawal in which the service user may attend a day
programme lasting between 4 and 7 days per week over a 3-week
period.” (NICE Guidance)
Psychosocial interventions:
– Providing CBT in a consistent “manual based” way
– Delivering 12 week packages of CBT
Pharmacotherapy:
– Providing acamprosate or naltrexone (or disulfiram if indicated) for up to
a year

Outcome monitoring
• Outcome monitoring is important in assessing how
treatment for alcohol misuse is progressing
• The main aim is to assess whether there has been a
change in the targeted behaviour following treatment
• Outcome monitoring aids in deciding whether treatment
should:
– be continued, or
– a change of the care plan is needed
• Routine outcome monitoring (including feedback to staff
and patients) has been shown to be effective in
improving outcomes
NICE Guidance
15
Outcome monitoring
• There is no consensus in the alcohol treatment field as to which tool
is best to use
• There are a number of existing tools that may be suitable including:
– Comprehensive Drinker Profile
– Addiction Severity Index
– MAP
– RESULT
– Christo Inventory for Substance Misuse Services (CISS)
– TOP
– The Alcohol Star
– ATOM
– HoNOS
– APQ
– AUDIT
16
Outcome monitoring
• Alcohol Treatment PbR Pilots tested:
– AUDIT – O (Outcome)
• 3 month recall period
– ‘Alcohol’ TOP
• Removed
– harm reduction section
– crime section
• Kept
– Alcohol & drug use
– Health and social functioning
• Performance of both still being assessed
17
Reporting costs
• NHS Mental Health Trusts now reporting “costs by
cluster” – the cost of treating an individual in the cluster
• Alcohol Treatment PbR Pilots investigating ways to
report “costs by cluster”
• Methods developed by pilots will be made available for
others to use

PbR Purpose
• More productive discussions between commissioners
and providers
• Bench-marking (for both providers and commissioners)
• Greater investment in proven interventions
• Better care leading to better outcomes for service users
