Development of a prototype for a Residential Program Reporting and Outcomes Monitoring System (RPROMS) is proposed to improve quality of mental health residential services. RPROMS is modeled on systems for psychiatric outpatient treatment, which offer reports that result in better utilization of resources and improved treatment outcomes as well as methods of data capture with dramatically reduced costs. RPROMS will employ very simple, cost-efficient methods of data capture, instruments and measures with demonstrated reliability and validity, and reports which meet the information needs of residents, line staff; program management, and external authorities. We will develop and test a prototype of this system employing inexpensive, widely available computer hardware and software. Two, large residential organizations in New York and Massachusetts have agreed to participate in this nine-month effort. Feasibility of the system will be assessed against four criteria: Value of the system to agency line staff and resident; Value of the system to managers; Reasonableness of cost; and Efficiency of automation. We expect that this system will provide organizations with a cost-effective method for meeting internal needs for monitoring resident outcomes, leading to improved quality of care, and external needs for providing evidence of program effectiveness to accreditation and funding authorities. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: This Residential Program Reporting and Outcomes Monitoring System is designed to be adopted by mental health residential programs. This is an industry that serves 100,000-150,000 people annually, with spending in excess of $1.6 billion, but lacks the information management capacity to meet its needs for internal quality assurance and external accountability. If the present research is successful, we will have demonstrated a cost- effective prototype for acquisition by large and small organizations providing these services throughout the United States and Canada. This system could also be adopted by other types of mental health community support programs.

住宅项目报告和成果监测系统（RPROMS）的原型开发，提出了提高精神卫生住宅服务的质量。RPROMS以精神科门诊治疗系统为模型，提供报告，从而更好地利用资源和改善治疗结果，以及以显著降低成本的数据采集方法。RPROMS将采用非常简单，具有成本效益的数据采集方法，具有可靠性和有效性的仪器和措施，以及满足居民，一线工作人员，计划管理和外部当局信息需求的报告。 我们将开发和测试这个系统的原型，采用廉价的，广泛使用的计算机硬件和软件。纽约和马萨诸塞州的两个大型居民组织已经同意参与这项为期九个月的努力。将根据四项标准评估该系统的可行性：该系统对机构各级工作人员和驻地人员的价值;该系统对管理人员的价值;费用是否合理;以及自动化的效率。我们希望该系统将为组织提供一种具有成本效益的方法，以满足内部需求，以监测居民的结果，从而提高护理质量，以及外部需求，为认证和资助机构提供计划有效性的证据。拟议的商业应用：这个住宿计划报告和结果监测系统旨在通过精神卫生住宿计划。这是一个每年为10万至15万人提供服务的行业，支出超过16亿美元，但缺乏满足其内部质量保证和外部问责制需要的信息管理能力。如果目前的研究是成功的，我们将展示一个具有成本效益的原型，供在美国和加拿大各地提供这些服务的大小组织购买。这个系统也可以被其他类型的精神健康社区支持计划所采用。
