Overview of 2006-2007 MH-NOCC Data: Technical and Conceptual Issues
This paper considers overarching technical issues that require consideration as a precursor to the modelling of candidate ‘effectiveness’ Key Performance Indicators from the Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) datasets and is based on data submitted for the period 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 and represent a one-year ‘snapshot’ of routine outcomes collections for participating Mental Health Service Organisations over this period.
Issues considered include: volume and quality of submitted data, limitations of the dataset and how data can be organised to allow measurement and evaluation of Key Performance Indicators for Australia’s public mental health services.
