Outcome measurement in clinical mental health services

The Department requires all consumers who remain continuously in an inpatient, ambulatory and community residential setting in public clinical mental health services, to have OM reviews completed at least every 91 days. The ‘91-day review’ requirement is consistent with the National Standards for Mental Health Services, which require consumers of public clinical mental health services to have a comprehensive clinical review by a multi-disciplinary team at least every three months. This requirement is not intended to restrict more frequent OM reviews.
