NASHVILLE, Tenn.,
April 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Treatment at Newport
Healthcare yielded significant improvements in adolescent and young
adult patients' depression, anxiety, well-being, suicide risk, and
parent relationships, according to the just released report, The
Science of Healing: Patient Outcomes and Key Findings. The
report, based on 2023 data, also notes significant improvement in
adult patients' depressive symptoms throughout the course of
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment from Newport's
PrairieCare TMS clinics.
"Newport Healthcare prioritizes investing in the collection and
analysis of behavioral health treatment outcomes data to lead the
way in continuous improvement of best practices in this field that
will ultimately lead to increased patient success," said Newport
Healthcare's Chief Executive Officer Joseph
Procopio. "These industry-leading outcomes are the result of
Newport's highly dedicated treatment teams and the deep commitment
from our patients and families to get well."
Newport Healthcare offers a nationwide network of evidence-based
mental health treatment programs, including Newport Academy for
teens and Newport Institute for young adults. Data was collected
and analyzed by Newport Healthcare's Center for Research and
Innovation using industry-standard and Newport-specific measurement
tools. The treatment outcomes were then externally reviewed by an
associate professor, internist, and researcher who focuses on
predictive analytics applied to vulnerable populations, clinical
workflow, and decision support at the point-of-care.
The report includes responses from Newport's adolescent and
young adult patients who struggle with depression, anxiety, mood
disorders, PTSD, and/or substance use disorders. These patients
also self-reported high levels of traumatic distress, suicidal
thoughts, and family dysfunction at intake. Additionally, TMS data
was collected from PrairieCare's adult patients ages 18-80 with
severe, moderately severe, or moderate depression symptoms.
In addition to questions about depressive symptoms, anxiety
symptoms, suicide risk, traumatic stress, well-being, family
relationships, and the therapeutic alliance, the Newport
assessments asked patients about their exposure to various risk
factors, including sexual abuse and bullying, and their engagement
in potentially self-destructive behaviors, such as substance use
and disordered eating, to deepen insight into patient experiences
and challenges.
Highlights from the report include:
- Anxiety levels reduced from severe to mild, on average, for
adolescents in residential care;
- Well-being improved from "poor" to "well," on average, for all
patients;
- Depressive symptoms decreased by 50% for young adults in
residential care;
- Percentage of patients in outpatient treatment reporting
suicide plans dropped from 16% to 2%;
- 40% of patients experienced remission from treatment-resistant
depression after TMS treatment at PrairieCare.
Treatment teams at Newport Healthcare distinctly apply the
empirically supported Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) model
to help rebuild trust and connection between patients and their
parents. The report notes that at intake, 1 in 3 adolescents felt
they could not turn to family for support in times of crisis. As
patients progressed through residential treatment, the majority
reported improvements in attachment with both maternal and paternal
figures.
The report also included data from Newport Healthcare's
proprietary Client Satisfaction Scale ™ that tracks
satisfaction throughout treatment with staff, services, and
outcomes. The insights gained from this data inform initiatives to
continually improve patients' and families' experiences. In 2023,
on average, adolescent and young adult patients, parents, and
referring professionals (therapists, school counselors, social
workers, etc.) all reported high satisfaction on surveys
administered throughout treatment and at discharge. In fact, almost
100% of referring professionals said they would refer to Newport
again, with 95% reporting that their clients received exceptional,
personalized treatment at Newport.
Additionally, the report includes post-discharge data from
parents of adolescent and young adult patients in both residential
and outpatient programs which revealed improvements in all areas of
family functioning post-discharge, including greater comfort
discussing emotions, better problem-solving skills, and more
cohesion and acceptance.
"The data continues to make it clear that many teens, young
adults, and their families are living with very concerning
situations—and, on the bright side, their decision to seek
treatment leads to measurable positive change, during and after
their time with us," said Michael
Roeske, PsyD, Senior Director for Newport Healthcare's
Center for Research and Innovation. "Overall, the results of our
third party validated analysis show that our patients significantly
benefit from the help we provide, develop strong working alliances
with their family therapist, and are satisfied with their overall
experience."
