| Synopsis : |
Since the inception of the National Mental Health Strategy, Australia has shown its commitment to quality improvement through the implementation of routine outcome measurement in all specialised public mental health services. Under the Second National Mental Health Plan (1998-2003), substantial progress was made in the development and implementation of an information infrastructure to support outcome measurement, although progress has been varied across the States and Territories.
National, State and Territory activity is still ongoing under the National Mental Health Plan (2003-08). This Plan reaffirms the commitment to the collection and use of outcome information to enhance the quality and effectiveness of public specialised mental health services.
This document outlines the data reporting requirements that apply to the Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC). While its main purpose is to describe the technical aspects of the datasets to be prepared annually, it also presents an overview of the data to be collected and the key concepts underpinning the collection protocol. The concepts and business rules covered in this document need to be understood to guide the system development and workforce training being undertaken by all jurisdictions.
