Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the implementation of routine outcome measurement in mental health services in Australia. It describes the preparation necessary to enable the collection of these measures, including policy development. It then identifies the training, benchmarking, communication, and other workforce development activities necessary to initiate and sustain the collection. The chapter concludes by outlining the future development of the collection and the implication for continued workforce development.
