It reports that the service successfully met the six desired objectives as set out in its Service Level Agreement. Further to this, it reports that the use of National Health Service electronic patient records within a court setting facilitated the provision of apposite and timely information to the court. Specific findings were that deliberate self-harm\/suicidal ideation and mood disorders were the primary reasons for a person requiring CAAS involvement. Violence against the person, breach of orders and theft were the most prevalent categories of offending within this referred group. The prevalence of previous psychiatric history was significantly higher than found in comparable audits. It is likely that this is due to the efficacy of proactive and in vivo utilization of electronic patient records. Conclusions include the need to work in partnership with drug and alcohol agencies and the importance of recognizing that these services have significant clinical benefits for defendants with mental health problems, and the court system in terms of financial savings. We suggest ongoing audit is necessary to guide the development of other schemes\u00a0in this pioneering service area. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/msl.2011.011069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,16]],"date-time":"2012-02-16T05:59:52Z","timestamp":1329371992000},"page":"169-173","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Auditing a court assessment and advice service for defendants with mental health difficulties: utilizing electronic patient records"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Karen","family":"Gough","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Consultant Forensic Clinical Psychologist, Forensic Liaison Team"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Magness","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trainee Clinical Psychologist, University of East Anglia, Norwich"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Winstanley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Court Assessment and Advice Practitioner\/AMHP, Forensic Liaison Team, Bridgwater TA6 3LS, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,15]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Outcomes of Psychiatric Admissions through the Courts, RDS Occasional Paper No. 79","year":"2002","author":"James DE","key":"bibr-MSL-11-069C1"},{"volume-title":"Vulnerable Defendants in the Criminal Courts: A Review of Provision for Adults and Children","year":"2009","author":"Jacobson J","key":"bibr-MSL-11-069C2"},{"volume-title":"Diversion.
