National Audit of Psychological Therapies (NAPT)

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL AUDIT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIES? The National Audit of Psychological Therapies for Anxiety and Depression aims to promote access, appropriateness, acceptability and positive outcomes of treatment for those suffering from depression and anxiety. The audit is open to all NHS-funded services in England and Wales providing psychological therapies in the community for people with anxiety and depression. It includes adults over the age of 18 who are receiving psychological therapy services in the community. The audit is working with both IAPT and non-IAPT sites. It engages healthcare professionals in a systematic evaluation of their clinical practice against standards for best practice. Local services are able to benchmark their performance and identify where they are performing well, and where there is potential to improve the quality of treatment and care they provide. Services are also encouraged to engage in action planning to improve their practice or maintain existing good practice. On a national level, wide participation in the audit also creates an overview of the quality of care being provided in England and Wales. The National Audit of Psychological Therapies (NAPT) is funded by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and is an initiative of the College Centre for Quality Improvement (CCQI). The project is part of the National Clinical Audit programme and trusts are required by the Department of Health to report their participation in the audit in their Quality Account.什么是心理疗法国家审计（National Audit of Psychological Therapies）项目？ 针对焦虑与抑郁的心理疗法国家审计项目，旨在提升抑郁与焦虑患者获得治疗的途径、治疗的适宜性、可接受度以及积极治疗结局。本审计项目面向英格兰与威尔士地区所有由英国国民保健制度（National Health Service, NHS）资助的社区心理疗法服务机构，服务对象为焦虑与抑郁患者，覆盖所有在社区接受心理疗法服务的18岁以上成年群体。 本审计与提升心理疗法可及性项目（Improving Access to Psychological Therapies, IAPT）及非IAPT机构均开展合作。项目推动医疗专业人员对照最佳临床实践标准，对自身临床工作开展系统性评估。本地服务机构可借此对标自身服务绩效，明确自身优势领域，以及存在提升治疗与照护质量潜力的环节。同时，项目鼓励服务机构制定行动规划，以优化临床实践或维持既有优良服务水平。从国家层面来看，广泛的项目参与也能够勾勒出英格兰与威尔士地区当前心理照护服务的质量全貌。 心理疗法国家审计（National Audit of Psychological Therapies, NAPT）由医疗质量改进伙伴关系（Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, HQIP）资助，是英国学院质量改进中心（College Centre for Quality Improvement, CCQI）发起的项目。本项目隶属于国家临床审计计划，英国卫生部门要求各医疗信托机构在其质量报告（Quality Account）中报备其参与本审计项目的情况。
