WEBINAR Training – Initial Assessment and Referral (IAR) for Mental Healthcare
Fri 18th November 2022 @ 12:00 pm
Sydney North Health Network (SNHN) invites local GPs, Nurses, Mental Health Professionals and their relevant staff to this workshop for Initial Assessment Referral in Mental Health care.
Background
The National IAR Guidance and IAR-DST were developed by the Australian Department of Health and is designed to provide:
– Advice relating to initial assessment and intake (the eight domains).
– A description of evidence-based services by level of intensity (the five levels of care).
– Criteria to assist with matching an individual to a level of care that is most likely to meet the individual’s treatment needs and recovery goals (the IAR-DST).
The training will focus on
1. Introduction to Initial Assessment and Referral (IAR) and the development of the National Guidance.
2. Orientation to the domains, levels of care, and decision support tool.
3. Clinical judgement and supported decision-making.
4. Application of the IAR in assessment and intake settings (practical activity using a scenario).
Part of the workshop is a live practice community where participants engage in practical activity focusing on applying the IAR decision support tool to the prepared scenario. It is a requirement that you read the vignette scenario prior to the workshop, which will be emailed prior to you prior to the workshop.
