Adult partial hospitalization outcomes

Results

From August 2016 until February 2020, 309 adults admitted to our partial hospitalization care completed measures at both admission and discharge. The mean age was 35.3 years (SD=12.5).

PTSD Symptom Checklist (Civilian) 5.0 (PCLv)

This 20-item self-report measure is used to assess the symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in civilians. The PCLv screens patients for PTSD and also assists in monitoring symptom change during and after treatment. The goal is to decrease the severity of symptoms for those we treat.

At time of admission, individuals reported more severe PTSD symptoms, as measured by the PCLv (m= 54.5, SD=12.4); at time of discharge, individuals report reduction in their PTSD symptoms (m=36.4, SD=17.7).  Utilizing paired sample t-tests, we find that these differences are statistically significant at the p< .001. 

Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire
(Q-LES-Q)

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder often decreases a person’s quality of life. This scale measures the overall enjoyment and satisfaction individuals experience across a number of life domains such as family relationships, work, and hobbies. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for those we treat.

Additionally, patients have statistical improvements in quality of life, measured by the Q-LES-Q-SF. Patients admitted with a poor to fair quality of life (m=41, SD=15.5), and discharged with a fair to good quality of life (m=55.1, SD=19.1). This is significant at the p<.001.

Though there is not an industry standard for interpreting score results, Rogers uses the following categories to evaluate our patients’ assessment of their quality of life:

  • 80 - very good
  • 64 - good
  • 48 - fair
  • 32 - poor
  • 16 - very poor

Rogers Behavioral Health has more than 20 years of commitment and investment in outcomes studies, with nearly 10,000 of our patients participating. Patients who agree to participate are asked at admission and discharge to complete a series of questionnaires; follow-up calls on progress are made periodically after discharge.

Study findings are used by our treatment teams to examine the effectiveness of our clinical program and to make improvements. The findings are also presented at national and international conferences and published in peer-reviewed medical literature.

Overall, our outcome data consistently have shown that our residential and partial hospitalization treatment centers offer effective treatment, and newer studies under way are demonstrating similar consistency in outcomes for our partial hospital level of outpatient care. In selected programs where we have reached out one year after they leave the program, past patients report that they’ve been able to maintain the gains they made during treatment. With the implementation of our Cerner electronic health record, we are gaining additional understanding of our clinical effectiveness across service lines, levels of care and throughout our system, including our regional network of outpatient centers. With this knowledge, we are gaining insights that contribute to real-time adjustments in care and help us confirm the impact of evidence-based care upon outcomes.
