Organisational change to integrate self-management into specialised mental health services: Creating collaborative spaces.

INTRODUCTION
Self-management support for schizophrenia has become expected practice leaving organisations to find ways for feasible implementation. Self-management support involves a foundational cultural shift for traditional disease-based services, new ways of clients-providers working together, coupled with delivering a portfolio of tools and techniques. A new model of self-management support embedded into traditional case management services, called SET for Health (Self-management Engaging Together for Health),  was designed and tailored to make such services meaningfully accessible to clients of a tertiary care centre. This paper describes the proof of concept demonstration efforts, the successes/challenges, and initial organisational changes.


METHOD
An integrated knowledge translation approach was selected as a means to foster organisational change grounded in users' daily realities. Piloting the model in two community case management programmes, we asked two questions: Can a model of self-management support be embedded in existing case management and delivered within routine specialised mental health services? What organisational changes support implementation?


RESULTS
Fifty-one clients were enroled. Indicators of feasible delivery included 72.5% completion of self-management plans in a diverse sample, exceeding the 44% set minimum; and an attrition rate of 21.6%, less than 51% set maximum. Through an iterative evaluation process, the innovation evolved to a targeted hybrid approach revolving around client goals and a core set of co-created reference tools, supplemental tools and resources. Operationalisation by use of tools was implemented to create spaces for client-provider collaborations. Monitoring of organisational changes identified realignment of practices. Changes were made to procedures and operations to further spread and sustain the model.


CONCLUSION
This study demonstrated how self-management support can be implemented, within existing resources, for routine delivery of specialised services for individuals living with schizophrenia. The model holds promise as a hybrid option for supporting clients to manage their own health and wellness.
