CODE 1 Yes

The goal is to obtain information within the episode of care, including collateral information where possible, in order to determine the consumer complexity and need for intervention.

This code indicates that assessment only has been assigned for a consumer exiting from mental health services, where following assessment no services were provided and no mental health phase of care has been assigned. 

CODE 2 No

This code indicates the provision of care to a consumer following assessment and the assignment of an appropriate mental health phase of care. This is defined by the Episode of care—mental health phase of care, code N.

Collection methods:Help on this term

For the purposes of activity based funding reporting, this data item can be derived.

Assessment only is considered a time limited activity.

Comments:Help on this term

Assessment only has been redefined from a mental health phase of care to an administrative data item to allow for greater flexibility in capturing assessment activity.
