AMHOCN Consultation 2004

AMHOCN udertook a process of stakeholder consultations across all states and territories during March and April 2004. These consultations aimed to answer eight key questions that would inform the initial work of AMHOCN. These questions were:

1. What is your current status with respect to the implementation of National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) and the National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) (e.g., regarding coverage, infrastructure, training, strategies, consultation with stakeholders and perceived benefits and risks)? What are your future plans?
2. What systems do you currently have in place for the collection/capture/storage of NOCC and NMDS data? What are your future plans?
3. What unique identifier system do you use, and what is its capacity for enabling individuals to be tracked over time or across services? What processes do you undertake to de-identify NOCC and NMDS data? What are your future plans?
4. What systems do you have in place for training or retraining staff in the measures and data collection? What are your future plans?
5. What are your current plans for analysis and reporting in your jurisdiction? What are your future plans?
6. In what ways could the national data most beneficially be used to augment state/territory-level data in your jurisdiction?
7. How could the national training and service development component of AMHOCN best support your jurisdiction?
8. How has your jurisdiction made use of the NOCC and NMDS information? Are there particular individuals or services within your jurisdiction that are innovators or champions in this area? What are your plans for the identification and support of innovators?
