Key Performance Indicators for Australian Public Mental Health Services - Modelling Candidate Indicators of Effectiveness
This paper follows on from earlier work: (i) Overview of 2006-2007 MH-NOCC Data: Technical and Conceptual Issues and (ii) Key Performance Indicators for Australian Public Mental Health Services - Developing Effectiveness KPIs from the NOCC Data. The purpose of the paper is to model candidate ‘effectiveness’ Indicators from the Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) datasets. It is primarily concerned with statistical and technical considerations. To that end, this report is limited to measurement issues, specifically reliability and validity, rather than the broader set of criteria used to evaluate candidate indicators.
