Scope:![]() | The Activity based funding: Mental health care national best endeavours data set (ABF MHC NBEDS) defines information about patients receiving mental health care, funded by states and territories, that is associated with Australian public hospital services. Mental health care is care in which the primary clinical purpose or treatment goal is improvement in the symptoms and/or psychosocial, environmental and physical functioning related to a patient’s mental disorder. Mental health care:
This includes services provided as assessment only activities. The scope of the ABF MHC NBEDS is mental health care provided by services that are in-scope public hospital services under the National Health Reform Agreement 2011. This includes care delivered by specialised mental health services, public hospitals, Local Hospital Networks and non-government organisations (NGOs) managed or funded by state or territory health authorities. This also includes all in-scope services contracted by a public hospital, Local Hospital Network or jurisdiction regardless of the physical location of the contracting public hospital, Local Hospital Network or jurisdiction, or the location where the services are delivered. The ABF MHC NBEDS is intended to capture instances of service provision from the point of view of the patient. Mental health care provided by services which are not in-scope public hospital services under the National Health Reform Agreement 2011 can also be reported. Mental health care services that are considered in-scope may take place in admitted, ambulatory, emergency department or residential settings. Activity that has taken place in the emergency department must only be reported through the ABF MHC NBEDS if it has been provided by an ambulatory service as part of an ambulatory mental health episode of care. These service contacts are provided by specialised mental health ambulatory care units and are also reported through the Community mental health care national minimum data set (CMHC NMDS). The ABF MHC NBEDS allows reporting of in-reach service contacts from specialised mental health community units into specialised mental health care admitted patient units, which are out of scope for the CMHC NMDS. |
