IMPARTS Project Overview
Aim: To improve the mental healthcare of patients presenting in physical healthcare settings
Objectives:
1. To map mental health-related services provided by KHP’s acute trusts
2. To design and deliver training on mental health issues to non-specialists
3. To develop informatics to improve detection and management common mental disorders in medical settings
1) Mapping Project
2) Masters module in Psychological Medicine
To be offered by KCL’s Advanced Nursing Masters courses from 2013
One week taught course with web-based interaction:
3) IMPARTS informatics screening system
To use informatics systems to screen medical patients for CMD and other symptoms whilst they wait for their outpatient appointment, making the results immediately available to the clinician prior to consultation, and flagging up any issues that should be addressed.

Objectives
1. To determine whether informatics screening is feasible in a busy clinic
setting
2. To determine whether informatics screening is acceptable to patients and staff
3. To determine the rate of common mental disorder in a rheumatology clinic setting

• Patterns of mental disorder, symptoms, disability & health behaviour
• Associations between symptoms, function, QoL & demographic & clinical variables
• Predictors of good and poor outcomes
• Comparative effectiveness studies
• Pathways through care RESEARCHER
Recruitment into trials
• We are seeking ethical approval to prospectively request consent for contact via the IMPARTS screening interface
“Would you be happy for a researcher to contact you if your responses suggest that you might be suitable for a research
project currently taking place at the hospital?”
• It would then be possible to deanonymise patient records to allow researchers to contact potential trial participants –when explicit consent has been given
