Online Outcome and Casemix Measures Training

Self-directed online training

Event description

The introduction of outcome measures is part of a national initiative attempting to measure whether a change has occurred for a consumer as a result of mental health care. Using a range of clinician-rated and consumer-rated measures, collectively known as the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection, the consumer and the clinician can map the journey of recovery over time. The information collected can also be used to help mental health services plan for improvements in service delivery.

The measures that comprise the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) are:
Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS);
Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA);
Health of the Nation Outcome Scales 65+ (HoNOS65+);
Life Skills Profile 16 (LSP-16);
Resource Utilisation Groups – Activities of Daily Living Scale (RUG-ADL);
Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS);
Behaviour and Symptom Identification Scale 32 (BASIS-32®);
Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ);
Factors Influencing Health Status (FIHS); and
Phase of Care.

AMHOCN provides an opportunity for those working in mental health services to undertake online training in the measures that make up the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC). They currently offer:
