Non-government sector Mental Health Data Dictionary and Standard Data Set.
In order to provide a framework for standardised data reporting in the Australian non-government community mental health sector, a Data Dictionary and standard data set were developed. Advisory Committee and key stakeholder consultation, review of local and national minimum data sets and stakeholder validation informed this process. This resulted in a Data Dictionary containing 37 items and a standard data set containing 15 items. These items conform to the Australian Institute of Health & Welfare's (AIHW) standards and address Leginski et al.'s (1989) decision standards.
