Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to develop and pilot the Clinical High Risk for Psychosis Services Fidelity Scale (CHRPS-FS).
Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify evidence-based treatments for individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHRP). These findings were compared with the First-Episode Psychosis Services Fidelity Scale (FEPS-FS). Common items were retained, and others were added, modified, or deleted. Next, the Delphi process was conducted with 17 clinical and academic experts in CHRP care to determine consensus on the importance and validity of each item. Concurrently, the preliminary tool was piloted in eight coordinated specialty care (CSC) clinics serving individuals with CHRP.
Results: The literature review identified two components of CHRP care that were not detailed in the FEPS-FS and were added to the CHRPS-FS; furthermore, one FEPS-FS item was modified and six were removed. In the Delphi process, clinical and academic experts achieved a consensus of >80% in two rounds, with some changes in item wording and the addition of one item (stepped care approach). A CHRPS-FS assessment was successfully piloted in eight CSC clinics. The mean CHRPS-FS rating score was 3.96 (range 3.75-4.23), and the median proportion of items rated at good to high fidelity was 72% (range 66%-78%).
Conclusions: The CHRP-FS is feasible to implement, has face validity based on expert consensus, can be completed in conjunction with a FEPS-FS assessment or alone, and captures variability across programs. The CHRPS-FS measures service delivery and is suitable for clinical trials, learning health care systems, and quality improvement efforts.
期刊介绍:
Psychiatric Services, established in 1950, is published monthly by the American Psychiatric Association. The peer-reviewed journal features research reports on issues related to the delivery of mental health services, especially for people with serious mental illness in community-based treatment programs. Long known as an interdisciplinary journal, Psychiatric Services recognizes that provision of high-quality care involves collaboration among a variety of professionals, frequently working as a team. Authors of research reports published in the journal include psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, drug and alcohol treatment counselors, economists, policy analysts, and professionals in related systems such as criminal justice and welfare systems. In the mental health field, the current focus on patient-centered, recovery-oriented care and on dissemination of evidence-based practices is transforming service delivery systems at all levels. Research published in Psychiatric Services contributes to this transformation.
