Tracking of Adult Mental Health Indicators
Currently, there is not a broad community process for continually tracking all of the Healthy People 2010 indicators in Travis County. Although many individual public mental health agencies and programs are tracking their own performance, they are only snapshots of the community as a whole. It is recommended as part of the planning process that follows this assessment, a systematic approach to review indicators, adopt indicators, and collect appropriate data be developed and monitored on an ongoing basis.
In addition to the Healthy People 2010 goal and objectives, the American College of Mental Health Administration and the Accreditation Organization Workgroup (CARF.the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission, the Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services, the Council on Quality and Leadership in Support of Persons With Disabilities, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the National Committee on Quality Assurance) has proposed a set of performance indicators and measures for behavioral health (American College of Mental Health Administration, 2000). These performance measures are provided in the following three tables to assist mental health planning bodies in further developing performance measures for Travis County.
