CRC Objectives

The Clinical Research Centre (CRC) was formally initiated in 2012, and is based at Gascoyne House, Graylands Health Campus. It carries out a wide range of mental health research projects, translational research and clinical audits for North Metropolitan Health Service Mental Health (NMHS MH).

CRC comprises clinical research staff who conduct high quality mental health research across a range of disciplines. Research projects conducted at CRC contribute to improvements in the clinical management and outcomes for people with mental illness, and towards the reform of service delivery within WA. This work is underpinned by a coordinated approach to research that aligns with statewide clinical priorities.

The specific objectives of CRC are:

1) To carry out high-quality multidisciplinary projects with clinical relevance for people with mental illness, clinical management and service delivery;

2) To foster projects aligned with NMHS MH clinical priorities and working towards clinical reform;

3) To provide advice, consultation and support relating to project design, analyses and results for projects undertaken as part of NMHS MH and statewide mental health services;

4) To be actively involved in NMHS MH and statewide planning of clinical reform, interventions, management and service delivery;

5) To strengthen partnerships with consumers, carers and community managed organisations in developing research projects and protocols;

6) To undertake collaborative research with clinical, research, health and other services, and the community;

7) To provide supervision for mental health clinicians and other professionals working towards credentialing and higher degrees in mental health;

8) To share resources with other NMHS MH and statewide services to support a learning culture; and

9) To help organise training for NMHS MH staff in a range of basic and practical project-related skills.

Three sub-units currently operate within the Clinical Research Centre:

• The Clinical Research Unit (CRU) consists of NMHS MH staff who provide core research and administrative support to the Clinical Research Centre’s other sub-units.

• The Clinical Applications Unit (CAU) works with local clinicians and uses local research findings to develop care coordination packages for mental health patients with complex health care needs.

• The Service Analysis Unit (SAU) provides advanced statistical analysis to enhance mental health operational effectiveness and outputs. It undertakes data collection and analysis to benefit local and statewide projects.

Acting Director’s Report

Throughout 2014 I continued to act as Director of the Clinical Research Centre while Clinical Professor Daniel Rock has been acting in the position of Deputy Area Executive Director, NMHS MH.

It has been an eventful year for CRC, in the wake of internal and external changes being announced for mental health services in Western Australia. Internally, the Neurophysiology Unit and its rTMS program will be transferred from Statewide Services to the Adult Program, and this will correspond with a planned move off the Graylands site for these services. CRC has had a long administrative and research relationship with the rTMS program, so this change will be significant for all our staff.

Externally, 2014 saw the passing of a new Mental Health Act for Western Australia, and the launch of the Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan for consultation by the Minister for Mental Health, Hon Helen Morton MLC. Both of these factors, especially the Plan’s proposal to decommission Graylands Hospital over the next ten years, will have immediate and far-reaching implications for NMHS MH’s clinical service delivery, and for CRC’s future workload and focus.

In the meantime, CRC continues to contribute to NMHS MH’s ongoing clinical reform program. In 2014 our staff worked on a range of large-scale projects, including the National Mental Health Costings Project and the Western Australian Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan. Staff have also contributed to developing models of care for consumers with neuropsychiatric disability, continued the audit of physical health care in mental health settings, monitored and analysed service use for a range of NMHS MH service users and stakeholders, collaborated with the NMHS SHIP project, and researched the growing problem of mental health care in WA prisons.

We look forward to continuing our productive engagement with our individual research collaborators and with NMHS MH, in future clinical planning and improvement of service delivery across all mental health settings.

Developed an enhanced audit tool to ensure that future physical health audits conducted within NMHS MH are contemporary and provide evidence for future care provision.

Women’s Health Survey (Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs of Women with Serious Mental Illness)

The original objective of this survey was to obtain baseline health data on Western Australian women of childbearing age (18 to 50 years) attending North Metropolitan community mental health services (2011). The study was extended to South Metropolitan community mental health services (2012). This project was a collaboration between the Clinical Applications Unit, King Edward Memorial Hospital and WA Sexual Health Services.

Projects ongoing to 2015


Association between cannabis use and cognition in psychosis

This study is to describe the relationship between psychosis and cannabis use in the national SHIP sample.

Brian Power, Nikos Stefanis, Jo Badcock, Milan Dragović, Vera Morgan

Better health in the Rehabilitation Clinical Stream

Wellness depends on recognising and supporting what are called the ‘pillars of health’. These include good physical health, restorative sleep, and psychosocial functions. Clinical audits have been conducted in the Rehabilitation Clinical Stream of Graylands Hospital. These have focused on examining specific domains of enquiry; specifically sleep quality, fatigue and functional impairments.

This evidence base has also been used to develop resources (booklets 2013, 2014), and design new interventions and better services for people with severe mental illness. A new CBT for people with psychosis and insomnia has been developed in collaboration with consumers and carers and will be piloted in 2015.

A clinical trial is also currently under way which examines the relative efficacy of melatonin, CBT for insomnia and TAU for improving sleep, functioning and cognition in schizophrenia.

Screening and sleep interventions for sleep disorders in affected individuals remains available on the Graylands Campus.

Flavie Waters, Daniel Rock

Clinical Rehabilitation Audit 2010 follow up

This project is following up a cohort of 112 NMHS MH patients with severe and/or complex mental health disorders who were identified in the 2010 Clinical Rehabilitation Audit. It will measure the group’s outcomes and other factors which will help to inform and improve future care for this group.

Emma Turker, Milan Dragović, Daniel Rock, Sandy Tait

Cognitive deficits and functional capacity of schizophrenia patients

This project explores the nature and patterns of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia inpatients and their impact on quality of daily functioning.

Alexander John, Milan Dragović

13


CVD-related mortality in a Western Australian psychiatric cohort 1950-1959

This project analyses a data set of mortality in Claremont Mental Hospital from 1950-1958, the period of the introduction of first generation antipsychotics into psychiatric hospitals of WA, and looks at existing cardiovascular mortality rates in this population compared to the general WA population at the time.

Carole Harrison, Philippa Martyr, Daniel Rock

Effectiveness of cognitive remediation in the early stages of psychosis

This funded project (SHRAC) addresses several research questions:

a) Effectiveness of neuroplasticity based cognitive training program (BTP)

b) Effects of BTP on positive and negative symptoms

c) Effects of BTP on occupational functioning and re-hospitalisation rates

Alexander John, Milan Dragović

Electronic data capture system

An electronic system is being developed, particularly for use on touchscreen mobile devices, to capture, code, and generate reports for several standard mental health measures as used by the clinical rehabilitation service.

Family/Carer Partnership and Education Strategy

A responsive partnership between mental health services and carers/families is recognised as pivotal in improving the outcomes of people with mental illness.

A multidisciplinary Carer Partnership and Education (FACES) team have developed systems and processes to improve the quality and quantity of engagement between clinicians and carers/families.

Surveys have been conducted to identify gaps in carer engagement and determine steps to improve the quality of partnerships between NMHS MH clinicians, consumers. Families/carers’ access to information and resources have improved with information posted on the intranet, and regular newsletters. Finally, best practice guidelines and recommendations have been developed in consultation with stakeholders. As of Dec 2014, the project is almost complete. The final task is to develop an online training package, the curriculum for which is being put together.

Flavie Waters, Daniel Rock, Kerry Hawkins, Philippa Martyr, Milan Dragović

Impact of neuropsychological evaluation on hospital presentations, admission rates and length of stay in a sample of general medical patients

The objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of access to an onsite neuropsychologist for general medical patients in an acute tertiary hospital. It is hypothesised that even after accounting for the neuropsychologist’s salary, the shorter length of stay results in cost savings to the hospital.

Rachel Zombor, Neilson Richards, Milan Dragović

Incidence of CVD and the distribution of risk factors for CVD among people with psychosis in Western Australia 1970-2011

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is reported to be the leading cause of death for both males and females in Australia. High levels of medical co-morbidity (e.g. diabetes mellitus) and excess mortality have long been documented in people with serious mental illness. Life style related CVD-risk factors such as smoking prevalence, higher BMI and sedentary lifestyle in association with side effects of antipsychotic medication (weight gain, dyslipidemia etc) impact significantly on this cohort. The life expectancy of patients with schizophrenia is between two and three decades shorter than that of the general population, in large part due to CVD. The project uses linked data from core data sets (MHIS, HMDS, mortality) to determine rates of CVD incidence, CVD interventions and mortality in people suffering psychosis in WA. This will allow health services in WA to better understand the CVD-risk in its treatment population, assist in health promotion, therapeutic care planning and management of co-morbid medical disorders etc.

North Metropolitan Health Service Mental Health SHIP (Survey of High Impact Psychosis) Analysis – Main Survey & GP Questionnaires

In March 2012, a random sample of 250 patients with psychosis who received public or publicly funded mental health services through NGOs, within the North Metropolitan Health catchment, were interviewed. In the first instance the aim was to estimate the local prevalence of psychosis. A secondary aim was to provide a local evidence base to help inform mental health policy development within the catchment for consumers with psychosis. The data consists of 1920 variables and two GP questionnaires and is being analysed by topic to learn more about the catchment’s population with psychosis. Areas analysed so far include migrant groups, private health insurance, disability groups, GP service provision, GP’s perceived role and collaborative treatment.

Older Adult Program Information Management

This project is to assist the clinical director to better understand the information management processes needed to clarify and optimise revenue for this service in preparation for ABF.

Padmaja Ramankutty, Shela Kolandasamy, David Simpson, Shirley Glasgow, Sarah Sprague, Helen McGowan (Exec Sponsor)

Prison Transition Project

In collaboration with the Statewide Forensic Mental Health Service, Department of Corrective Services co-morbidity service and Partners in Recovery we are working to develop pathways and care coordination for people with severe mental illness and complex needs on release from prison. We have set up a steering group with key stakeholders and meet regularly to develop pathways and a model of care and facilitate inter-agency working. Sophie Davison is also working to develop a project to evaluate the new service by comparing outcomes of prisoners who receive the service and those who don’t. The project will reduce the number of people with complex needs who fall through the gaps on release from prison and inform the planning and delivery of services to people with complex needs and mental illness on release from prison

Promoting mental health nursing as a sustainable career option

Mental health nursing has an ageing workforce and as well there is a critical shortage of nursing staff in mental health facilities across the whole of Australia and more specifically Western Australia. In addition to these concerns it is apparent that mental health nursing is not the preferred career choice for many graduate nurses. Challenges with recruitment and retention are currently being experienced by NMHS MH which suggests that the existing workforce is simply not sustainable. The project has finalised data collection and analysis. The dissemination process is currently underway.

Suicide and self-harm

In 2012 in Australia, 2679 people took their life by suicide and an estimated 55,000 attempted suicide (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

Western Australia has the highest rates, with an average for 2002-2011 of 11.3 per 100 000 (51% above the national average of 7.5).

This project aims to develop clinical pathways aimed at improving the capacity of WA health service providers to identify individuals who show proximal vulnerabilities for a suicide act and to provide effective care. Resources will also be developed for health professionals, individuals at risk, and their families and friends.


WACHS mental health activity and Graylands Hospital

With the announcement by the State government that Graylands Hospital is earmarked for closure, a more detailed understanding of the consumers that use services at the hospital is required to reduce the risk of displacement with no suitable alternative for patients currently being admitted to Graylands. This is particularly relevant to patients transferred to the hospital from country regions due to a lack of appropriate facilities locally. The objective is to outline the country regions particularly affected and determine the magnitude of their reliance upon the hospital, as well as to identify characteristics of Graylands Hospital consumers that need to be considered in further service planning.

Walking intervention of psychiatric patients with constipation

Significant evidence links constipation to antipsychotic use, which impacts heavily on quality of life and can lead to a multitude of physical issues. Exercise is known to reduce the symptoms of constipation in the general population, but most studies exclude participants where medication is the cause of constipation. This study aims to explore the impact of regular walking on the symptoms of constipation in antipsychotic medication users.

Kevin Lau, Tammy Hall, Milan Dragovic

Youth Mental Health Services

The purpose of this NMHS project is to develop clinical evaluation systems and a research platform for YMH services which can also support clinical research projects. Tasks include the creation of a dashboard for activity data and client flow based on existing data; to review, develop and implement protocols to collect additional routine clinical data; to obtain institutional and ethics approvals, data management including database creation, storage and maintenance; and to provide assistance to YMH staff with data planning, analysis and reporting.
