Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the present mental health care information systems in 18 OECD countries with the aim to explore the possibilities for measuring the quality of mental health care and identify potential indicators to be included in OECD’s HCQI set. A survey was conducted to support this analysis. The questionnaire sought to gather information on three areas of interest for the description of national information systems linked to mental health services: Types of mental health data available at system level; data sources available at national level; and institutional arrangements framing ownership and use of the information system. An additional section was included to assess potential improvements in availability of the indicators recommended in OECD Health Technical Paper 17, updating the availability survey conducted in 2005. Ce document présente un panorama des systèmes d’information sur les soins de santé mentale en place dans 18 pays de l’OCDE avec pour objectif d’examiner les possibilités de mesure de la qualité de ces soins et d’identifier des indicateurs qui pourraient être inclus dans la batterie d’indicateurs de la qualité des soins de santé (HCQI) de l’Organisation. Pour étayer cette analyse, une enquête a été effectuée. Le questionnaire s’efforçait de recueillir des informations sur trois domaines d’intérêt permettant de décrire les systèmes nationaux d’information liés aux services de santé mentale : types de données sur la santé mentale disponibles au niveau du système ; sources de données disponibles au niveau national ; et modalités institutionnelles régissant la propriété et l’utilisation du système d’information. Une section supplémentaire a été ajoutée pour évaluer les possibilités d’amélioration de la disponibilité des indicateurs recommandées dans le Rapport technique sur la santé n° 17 de l’OCDE, actualisant ainsi les résultats de l’enquête sur la disponibilité d’indicateurs menée en 2005.
