Summary Report HoNOSCA National Jan - Dec 24

This report summarises national Programme for the Integration of Mental Health Data (PRIMHD) data submitted by Te Whatu Ora District. In particular, it presents Health of the National Outcomes Scale for Child and Adolescent aged 4 to 17 (HoNOSCA) data from services where HoNOSCA is the primary measure.

This report is organised into three major sections that provide information about:

1. Outcomes related information: This provides indications about what changes have occurred for service users between entering and leaving the service. Outcome is assessed by comparing the group admitted and the group discharged from the service in the same time period. This should provide a reasonable indication of outcomes achieved unless the service user mix has changed significantly over the usual period for which service is delivered.
2. Service related information: This provides information about the services, such as the overall severity of service users who use different services.
3. Collection completion and validity: This details the completeness of the data set provided by your mental health services. This is important because it indicates how valid and reliable the data sets are likely to be. The less complete the data set, the less valid the information is likely to be.
