| Synopsis : |
Access to quality information will be essential in achieving the goals of the Second National Mental Health Plan. This document presents the national priorities and strategies for developing mental health information over the next five years. It outlines a proposed work program agreed to by the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments.
The term information is used here in the broad sense, referring to the management intelligence required to effectively plan, resource, manage and deliver mental health services in a way that best meets community needs. It therefore refers to both the collection and use of information.
The paper summarises progress in information development made over the period 1993-1998 under the first National Mental Health Plan, identifying areas of significant gain as well as those where only limited achievement has been made. This is followed by a review of the information requirements arising from the Second National Mental Health Plan.
