NOCC Decision Support Tool

The Australian Mental Health Outcomes and Classification Network (AMHOCN) has developed a ‘Decision Support Tool’ (DST) that enables users to compare profiles of their consumers against the national aggregate. The link below will take you to the DST page where you can download the tool and a comprehensive users guide and technical specifications manual. AMHOCN welcomes feedback on the tool to support further development. Visit the forum to discuss the tool, its use and possible enhancements

Reporting Framework

The overall purpose of this Reporting Framework is to provide a conceptual basis for the reporting of analyses of the Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) Data Sets. It is prepared specifically for those information users who intend to develop and analyse reports from NOCC data collected locally (be it at the jurisdictional or organisational level). The Reporting Framework details the key underlying assumptions used in the development on the National standard reports to date. As such, it is an ‘evolving’ document. As further analyses and reporting is undertaken with the National data, it can be anticipated that there will be refinement to the underlying assumptions. These refinements will be documented in each release of Standard Reports as well as in subsequent versions of the Reporting Framework.

First Edition Reports

These are the First Edition of the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection Standard Reports. The reports are partitioned across three age groups, Child and Adolescents, Adults and Older Persons. Each report has an introductory section which is a Users Guide aimed at explaining the report, its structure and technical considerations during the reports generation. These reports constitute the first iteration in the development of the reporting of the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection. As new data are submitted by States and Territories revised versions of these reports will be generated. When substantial changes to these reports are made new editions of these reports will be generated. AMHOCN welcomes your comment and feedback. In the first instance, we encourage you to make comments and give feedback via the MHNOCC website forum. Comments and feedback in this way promotes the aim of AMHOCN which is “sharing information to improve outcomes”.
