Included: all patients who are considered to require psychological therapy are included in this indicator.
Excluded: patients who are considered to not require psychological therapy are excluded from this indicator
Numerator = the number of patients receiving 45 minutes of psychological therapy per day psychological therapy was received.
Denominator = all the patient in the cohort considered to require psychological therapy. Patients who are considered to require psychological therapy but do not receive any psychological therapy are included in the denominator.
The number of minutes of psychological therapy received per team is given in Q 4.6.2
The number of days on which psychological therapy is received per team is given in Q 4.5.2
Please note that SSNAP only records the total number of minutes of psychological therapy per team (Q 4.6.2) and the total number of days on which psychological therapy is received and does not take into account the number of therapy sessions or the length of the individual sessions. If a patient received therapy on 3 days and they received 15 minutes on the first day of therapy, 10 minutes on the second day of therapy and 25 minutes -split into two sessions of 10 and 15 minutes- on the third day of therapy then the total number of minutes entered on to SSNAP would be 50 minutes.
For team-centred results:
Divide the number of minutes of psychological therapy received at an individual team by the number of days the patient received psychological therapy at that team.
To calculate the percentage of patients achieving the target of 45 minutes of psychological therapy per day:
Count the number of patients achieving 45 minutes of psychological therapy per day.
For patient-centred results:
First, calculate the total number of minutes of psychological therapy each patient received by adding together the minutes of psychological therapy the patient received at each of the inpatient teams the patient was seen by.
Then, divide by the total number of days of psychological therapy the patient received across all inpatient teams.
To calculate the percentage of patients achieving the target of 45 minutes of psychological therapy per day:
Count the number of patients achieving 45 minutes of psychological therapy per day.
