MaST supports mental health services by:

Providing valuable insights to promote mental and physical health, and preventing ill health
Supporting delivery of proactive reviews for all patients on Community Mental Health Teams’ caseloads
Helping more people get early support to help avert admission to hospital

The Solution

MaST is an intelligent analytics platform that analyses multiple data sources to predict people's likelihood of requiring crisis care, enabling clinicians to effectively manage their caseloads

MaST builds a model of care based on inclusivity, particularly for people with coexisting needs, with the highest levels of complexity and who experience marginalisation
MaST provides a joined-up and representative multi-disciplinary team with the data, information and analytics which inform effective and efficient decision making

The difference we've made

We have helped Trusts:

Improve caseload management and allocation of resources, identifying people who may be at greatest risk of using crisis services and improving patient flow
Gain insight into the Risk of Crisis and Complexity by combining the information in a range of electronic health and social care records through MaST
Identify, prioritise and contact vulnerable service users with information from different systems, organisations and staff, ensuring it’s comprehensive, systematic and coordinated

Customer Stories

1. Improving Caseload Management and Flow in Community Mental Health Teams

Find out how MaST was used to help transform Mersey Care’s Community Mental Health Team and delivered an overall reduction in caseload sizes, improved discharge management, improved compliance and an overall reduction in new crises.

2. Stepping down and moving on

A case study for the use of MaST in Community Mental Health Teams.

Find out how MaST helped Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust help the Community Mental Health Team prioritise safely and focus on meaningful interventions to ensure service users were getting the appropriate level of care. MaST was used to help the clinic specifically assess service users’ readiness for safe ‘step down’.

3. Integrating Community data through using MaST COVID-19 in Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust

Find out how MaST was adapted at the beginning of the 2020 COVID19 pandemic to integrate community data. In collaboration with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust we created a COVID-19 version of MaST. This update enabled staff to identify, intervene and ensure the safety of their most vulnerable service users, assessing whether a change in care would be needed during this turbulent time.
