Description: This workbook provides assistance for commissioners and providers of acute mental health service seeking to improve and develop their current services. It involves a step-by-step process of strategic analysis: defining service aims and desired outcomes; planning the acute care pathway; how well does your current service model perform?; how can you make the best use of your capital investment?; formalising your capital investment. It is intended to test assumptions that new buildings are needed to facilitate improved care and to work through options for service redesign first.
