Question

Are short home visit more efficient?

Problem description

In Birmingham the team work is very behaviourally focused and very targeted, allowing to shorten home visits substantially compared to ours.  And allowing to plan more home visits throughout the day. The Bruce Burns crisis teams realise 4 visits each morning, while we can only make 2 visits per morning

Impact - effect

Given the increasing number of demands, we will, at the end, have to consider to shorten home visits in some cases. We will indeed reach our limits in terms of caseload

To do

To do: to find a middle way between the more behavioural and targeted way of working as in Birmingham, and a more contextual approach (we choose to build working relationships, we work with the context). We must continue to examine the crisis determining factor,  but a certain profoundness must be created if we want to ensure a proper after care
