NSW Mental Health Ambulatory Data Collection (MH-AMB)
The MH-AMB collection is held within the State Health Information Exchange (HIE). Activities performed by a clinician to a patient are recorded within a contact record. The data gathered includes patient demographics, diagnoses, procedures, and administrative details like admission and separation dates and health insurance status. Ambulatory mental health care encompasses various services for non-admitted patients, including mental health day programs, outpatient services, and outreach programs like home visits. Data is included for individuals and population groups.
