delivery systems?
• How does CAPA work?
• CAPA at three Canadian sites.
• Lessons learned.
• Questions/Discussion.
What is CAPA?
• “You do not have to have a waiting list.
It can be eliminated. We need to stop
talking about assessment and
treatment—things we do to people—
and talk instead about partnership and
collaboration.”
Dr. Ann York, Psychiatrist, CAPA Developer
• CAPA is innovative method to deliver Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Services.
• It improves patient flow and quality of care.
• Widely used across the UK, New Zealand,
Australia.
• CAPA makes child and adolescent mental health
services:
– user-friendly
– client/family focused
– accessible
– safe
– effective.

How is CAPA different from other
service delivery systems?
Philosophy and mechanics.
Fundamental change in philosophy of
clinical care.
Challenges all assumptions and asks the
“system” hard questions:
• What is the role of the family in care?
• What is the role of the clinician/physician in
care?
• What is our “core business”?
• What is value-added?

Slide from capa.co.uk
Shared decision making.
A consultative process where a clinician and client
jointly participate in making a health decision, having
discussed the options and their benefits and harms, and
having considered the patient’s values, preferences and
circumstances.
Involves the professional and the service user bringing
together their individual sources of expertise
Shift in responsibility.
Family bus ride has already
started. • The bus ride doesn’t start
start at MH care facility.
• The bus ride destination
is not the MH care facility.
• So, how do we get on the
bus with family?
Value-added care.
• Value is anything that improves
health, well-being or care
experience of patient/family.
• Value is defined by patient or
family.
• We identify the ‘value stream’ or
key set of actions required to
deliver value.
• The trick is to maximize actions
that add value and eliminate
waste.
Importance of letting go.
“CAPA is all about empowering people and
helping them access their own resources –
and those in their communities – to move
their lives forward. Part of this is not to
assume they need services….” CAPA Manual, 2013, p.
81
“Release people back into the wild”
Mechanics: CAPA uses quantitative
approach to service delivery.
• Demand and Capacity Theory
• Queue Theory
• Lean Principles
Capacity and resources.
• A key lever for improving patient flow.
• How do we measure capacity?
– What is the capacity of a 20 seat restaurant?
– A 16 bed ward?
• Capacity is a RATE
– Customers/hour
– Patients/day
• We can view a 16 bed ward as a queuing system with 16
servers
– What is the capacity of a bed?
• A delivery system comprises resources with capacities.
– Resources and capacity are not interchangeable; one is a
function of the other
– Capacity may fluctuate
Puterman, Martin, 2012, BHAC 510 Coursework
Demand and capacity.
• Too much capacity or too many resources =
idleness
• Not enough capacity = waits
• Resource manager must trade these off taking into
account system objectives and available resources
• Should we set capacity equal to demand?
– This is called a balanced system
– It works perfectly when there is no variation in the
system
– It works terribly when there is variation! Why?
• Once behind, you never can catch up.
– Queuing theory quantifies these tradeoffs in terms of
performance measures.
Puterman, Martin, 2012, BHAC 510 Coursework
Queuing models.
• (Mathematical) queuing models help set
capacity (or determine the number of
resources needed) to meet:
– Service level targets
– Average wait time targets
– Average queue length targets
• Queuing models provide more precise
alternative to simulation
• They provide insights into how to plan,
operate and manage a system
Puterman, Martin, 2012, BHAC 510 Coursework
Push-Pull: the milkman.
• Push – the milkman delivers every day
• The delivery rate come from the milkman
• Pull – the family puts out a bottle when they need
milk
• The rate comes from the family across continuum ofSlide taken from
CAPA: Putting it all together.
• Demand
– Each referral is a request for a clinical service;
demand is the number of clinical hours needed
• Capacity
– Skills bank and resources required to deliver those
skills
– Skill bank built with targeted recruitment and clinician
education
– Capacity is not number of clinical staff, but number of
clinical hours available to meet demand
• Queue estimates used to create job planning.
• Lean principles to map out efficient care with
least waste.
How does CAPA work?

11 Key Components
CAPA Key Component Aim Why?
1. Leadership To drive and sustain Change management
2. Language
Active, understandable, non
judgmental
Engages clients
3. Handle demand Transparent and agreed Flow, transitions, joint working
4. Choice framework Shared decision making

11.Team away days Team functioning
Effectiveness, satisfaction, reduced
sickness, retention
5 BIG ideas.
1. Choice
2. Core and Specific Partnership Work
3. Selecting Core Partnership clinician
4. Job Planning
5. Peer group discussion
#1 What is Choice?
• Choice appointment = first face to face contact
• Find out what child, youth and family wants
• Use clinical knowledge to collaboratively
formulate problem
• Choice is single session intervention
• Clinician and family design plan to help with
problem:
– Choice is enough and they can exit or
– Return to clinic for treatment matching problem or
– Refer to another agency or care provider for better
match
Slide content taken from CAPA.co.uk
Choice: menu of treatments.
• Establish treatment goals with clients
• Match goals with menu of treatments
– Methods: group, 1:1, in-home, family, school
– Intensity: outpatient, inpatient, acute care, day
treatment Intensive services
• Consider patient/family’s capacity for change
#2 Core and Specific
Partnership Work
Slide content from capa.co.uk
What is core partnership?
• If patient/family will stay at clinic after
Choice appointment, then go to Core
Partnership
– treatment matched to Choice-defined problem
and goals, i.e., family “pulls” care in
– assigned by reviewing who on team has skills
best suited
– evidence-based treatments effective across
wide range of problems, e.g. CBT
– Can be individual or group care
– CAPA model suggests average of 7.5
sessions
Specific Partnership
Specific:
• When a particular
technique,
assessment, or skills
is needed for specific
symptoms or
problems as a
complement to Core
work
• Treatment duration is
shorter or longer
Specific Time examples:
– Diagnostic
Assessments
– Cognitive
Assessments
Specific Clinics:
- OCD
- Eating Disorders
- Psychosis
- PDD
# 4 Job Planning:
Pooling Our Time on Teams.
Goals to Methods
• Better match the treatment options to the
goals identified by the client.

#5: Peer group discussion.
Weekly peer group discussion.
• Weekly meetings of all
clinicians on team:
– Discuss Choice
appointment outcomes
– Distribute workload
– Do clinical peer
supervision
• Purpose
– Builds trust within teams
– Supports “letting go”
– Specifies clear treatment
goals and monitoring
using outcome
measures
– Helps develop a learning
culture
– Reduces variability in
responses to client’s
needs
– Increases safety and risk
management

Lessons learned.
Key CAPA elements
• Systematic evaluation of progress: use data to inform
decision-making.
• Fidelity is critical.
• Mechanics done without philosophy change is “doing
to” our clients, not “engaging with” them.
• Need to build continuous skill development:
– Choice Clinic = pushing out the private practice model and
building trust.
– Team Peer Supervision = creating an environment where
clinicians can ask for help.
– Developing clinical capacity in specific clinics to strengthen
core skills.
Rethink engagement.
Lessons learned.
• Program administration needs
to be actively supporting
CAPA
• Achieving flow of patients
means radically new thinking.
• Change will come in waves.
• People may accept CAPA and
then drift back to old ways.
• The power of families as
collaborators is freeing.
• Stick with it.
• Share what you’ve learned.
• Find mentors and stay in
close communication.
• Fidelity to model is critical.
Resources
• All the CAPA ideas and concepts presented
today were developed by Drs. Steve Kingsbury
and Ann York.

Lessons learned. • Program administration needs to be actively supporting CAPA • Achieving flow of patients means radically new thinking. • Change will come in waves. • People may accept CAPA and then drift back to old ways. • The power of families as collaborators is freeing. • Stick with it. • Share what you’ve learned. • Find mentors and stay in close communication. • Fidelity to model is critical.
