MHPET PurposeMHPET Purpose
Enhance the evaluation of mental health services in the SBHC and/or in any school setting
Improve mental health practices in the SBHC and/or in any school setting
Collect data for school mental health advocacy and technical assistance efforts at NASBHC
Need for Quality Improvement in Need for Quality Improvement in Mental Health in SBHCsMental Health in SBHCs
Increased recognition that objective measures are needed for SBHC quality of care, especially in mental health
Such a measure needs to recognize:– Many disciplines involved in providing MH
services– Wide range of interventions– Limited translational research around best
practice in schools
Qualifiers and CaveatsQualifiers and CaveatsQuality Improvement for mental health
services in schools is new and unfamiliar territory
Consider where your program is developmentally
This is not about judgment i.e. good or bad, right or wrong
Should not be tied to staff performance appraisal or funding
MHPET MHPET DevelopmentDevelopment
In January 2004 NASBHC convened a workgroup to develop an evaluation tool
Adapted the School Mental Health Quality Assessment Questionnaire (MH-QAQ) developed by Mark Weist et al. at the Center for School Mental Health – Broadened questions from clinician to program
level– Expanded questions to be inclusive of school staff
and non-mental health providers– Shortened, fewer dimensions and indicators
MHPET web-based tool MHPET web-based tool www.nasbhc.orgwww.nasbhc.org
Beta testing ’07-’08April ’08 went online
– Set up to be completed by teams– Individuals complete tool independently– Computer generates average score for
team.– Teams go back 3-6 months later to
complete a second time– Computer generates second set scores
with comparison to first set.

Using Results for Quality Using Results for Quality ImprovementImprovement
Indicators with scores of 3 or less are automatically flagged as potential areas for improvement
Place the MHPET results in the context of other data.
Raters select targeted areas for improvement(dimensions and/or indicators with averages that are low relative to others)
Using MHPET to identify Using MHPET to identify improvement targetsimprovement targets
Parallel to goal setting with a student/client:– What are the strengths?– What areas are in need of improvement?– Realistic?– Obtainable?
Examine the lowest rated indicators first.– Which of these can you impact in the next 6
months? “Halo effect”
– By focusing on 2-3 indicators is there potential to positively impact others?
