AMHOCN is to provide the authoritative focal point for national leadership in the development of outcomes and casemix concepts in mental health.
Broadly, AMHOCN will perform three roles. It will:
- Provide a data bureau function to receive and process the mental health outcomes and casemix data submitted by States and Territories. This function will be undertaken by Strategic Data, a Victorian company with expertise in the establishment and management of large data sets.
- Act as a specialist research and development group for the analysis, reporting and ongoing development of mental health outcomes and casemix information at a national level while also providing a resource for such work at State and Territory level. This function will be undertaken by the University of Queensland and the University of Melbourne, primarily Dr Philip Burgess and Dr Jane Pirkis
- Act as a national training and service development resource centre for the ongoing use of outcomes and casemix measures, designed to both inform and improve practice through workforce training, benchmarking and related activities. This function will be undertaken by The New South Wales Institute of Psychiatry, primarily Mr Tim Coombs and Dr Louise Newman.
AMHOCN in collaboration with Barwon Health the lead agency of the Victorian Western Cluster Quality through Outcomes Project has produced a range of pomotional and educational materials.

A DVD outlining the views of consumers, carers and clinicians has also been produced. This DVD is a training resource that explores the opportunities that routine outcome measurement holds in clinical practice.
Hard copies of the promotional materials including a "novelty flipper card" along with copies of the DVD and associated training materials are avaliable on request to AMHOCN.
AMHOCN has undertaken a review that critically considers the standardised instruments in the NOCC suite of measures. It provides descriptive and evaluative information on each measure, in a manner that will be useful to clinicians and managers involved in routine mental health outcome
measurement as well as others with a more general interest in the area.
NOTE: The review has been updated in the light of comments received from the Outcomes Expert Groups, the Australia Heath Ministers Advisory Council National Mental Health Working Group Information Strategy Committee, members of the mhnocc discussion forum and others.
During the review of the NOCC measures, an Endnote database was developed to manage the large number of articles and reports reviewed. This Endnote database is available for download below.
To ensure that the latest information is available, as scholarly articles of interest become avaliable they will be posted on this site, just follow the link below
