Your Experience of Service National Best Endeavours Data Set

Identifying and definitional attributes

Metadata item type:

Data Set Specification

METeOR identifier:

635068

Registration status:

Health, Superseded 15/04/2021

DSS type:

Data Set Specification (DSS)

Scope:

The scope of the Your Experience of Service National Best Endeavours Data Set (YES NBEDS) is state and territory public sector Specialised mental health services.

Specialised mental health services are those with a primary function to provide treatment, rehabilitation or community support targeted towards people with a mental disorder or psychiatric disability. These activities are delivered from a service or facility that is readily identifiable as both ‘specialised’ and ‘serving a mental health care function’.

A service is not defined as a specialised mental health service solely because its clients include people affected by a mental disorder or psychiatric disability.

The definition excludes specialist drug and alcohol services and services for people with intellectual disabilities, except where they are specifically established to assist people affected by a mental disorder who also have drug and alcohol related disorders or intellectual disability.

The services can be sub-units of hospitals that are not, themselves, specialised mental health establishments (for example designated psychiatric units and wards, outpatient clinics etc).
