Adult residential outcomes

Results

From June of 2012 until June of 2020, 599 adults in our residential services completed measures at both admission and discharge. 53% were female and the mean age was 29 years (SD=11.1).

Many of our patients participate in our long-term follow-up. Patients are contacted 12 months post discharge by phone and email. One year post discharge, the YBOCS scores maintain at the mild level with patients reporting (m=14.70, SD=8.25) and a fair to good quality of life (m=55.35, SD= 12.74).

Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS)

This 10-item measure rates the severity and type of symptoms. It measures both obsessions and compulsions and is used to monitor symptom improvement during treatment.

At time of admission to our residential care, individuals report severe OCD, as measured by the YBOCS (m= 27.0, SD=5.29); at time of discharge individuals report moderate levels of OCD (m= 17.0, SD=6.71). Utilizing paired sample t-tests, we find that these differences are statistically significant at the p< .001.

Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 40 (extreme symptoms). Patients scoring in the mild or higher range are likely experiencing a significant negative impact on their quality of life.

Severity Range:

  • 0-7 = Subclinical
  • 8-15 = Mild
  • 16-23 = Moderate
  • 24-31 = Severe
  • 32-40 = Extreme

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

This 16-item self-report measures the degree of enjoyment and satisfaction experienced in various areas of daily functioning. Composed of 14 general activity items and two additional items on medication satisfaction and overall life satisfaction item.

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=42.6, SD=15.9), and discharged with a fair to good quality of life (m=63.4, SD=16.8). 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

Adult partial hospitalization outcomes

Results

Across Rogers’ OCD partial hospitalization care across the country, we see a consistent level of improvement at all of our sites. From June of 2012 until February of 2020, 1050 adults who were admitted to our partial hospitalization care, completed measures at both admission and discharge. 55% were female and the mean age was 30 years (SD=11.6). The average number of treatment days in partial hospitalization care is 19 days.

At time of admission, individuals report moderate OCD, as measured by the YBOCS (m= 25.1, SD=5.02); at time of discharge individuals report mild levels of OCD (m= 15.9, SD=6.85). Utilizing paired sample t-tests, we find that these differences are statistically significant at the p< .001.

Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 40 (extreme symptoms). Patients scoring in the mild or higher range are likely experiencing a significant negative impact on their quality of life.

Severity Range:

  • 0-7 = Subclinical

Adolescent residential outcomes

Results

From February of 2015 until April of 2021, 432 adolescents admitted to our residential care completed measures at both admission and discharge. 51% were female and the mean age was 16 years (SD=1.12).

Many of our patients participate in our long term follow-up and are contacted one year post discharge by phone and email. Twelve months post discharge, the CYBOCS scores maintain at the mild level with patients reporting (m=12.18, SD=12.28) and a fair to good quality of life (m=56.45, SD= 14.22). The slight regressions are not statistically significant at follow-up.

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

This 15-item self-report measure is designed to measure the degree of enjoyment and satisfaction experienced by child and adolescent patients in various areas of daily functioning. Higher scores indicate great enjoyment and satisfaction.

Additionally, patients have statistical improvements in quality of life, measured by the PQ-LES-Q-SF. Patients admitted with a poor to fair quality of life (m=50.2, SD=16.3), and discharged with a fair to good quality of life (m=71, SD=15.9). 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:

Child residential outcomes

Results

From September of 2015 until February of 2020, 131 children who were admitted to our residential care completed measures at both admission and discharge. 66% were female and the mean age was 12 years (SD=1.2).

Utilizing paired sample t-tests, we find that these differences are statistically significant at the p< .001.

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.
