Dataset
<strong>Mental Healthcare (MH)</strong> is a subgroup of indicators within the HCQO database and provides data on the quality of mental healthcare. The database includes indicators on deaths from suicide among patients discharged with a mental disorder, and excess mortality among people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Suicide rates reflect the quality of follow-up and continuity of care after discharge, while excess mortality captures overall health outcomes among people who had lived with severe mental illness compared to the general population. Indicators are age- and sex-standardised. <p /> For further information, please consult: <ul> <li>The <a target="_blank" href="https://webfs-els.oecd.org/files/HCQO/HCQO%20Indicator%20Specifications%20(update%20July%202026).pdf">HCQO Definitions document</a> provides indicator definitions and calculation methodologies of HCQO indicators</li> <li>The Sources and Methods surveys on <a target="_blank" href="https://webfs-els.oecd.org/files/HCQO/OECD%20Sources%20and%20Methods%20survey%20for%20mental%20healthcare%20indicators%20(MH)%202024-25.xlsx">Mental Healthcare (MH)</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://webfs-els.oecd.org/files/HCQO/OECD%20Sources%20and%20Methods%20general%20survey%20on%20hospital%20data%202024-25.xlsx">Hospital Data</a> provide detailed country-specific information</li> <li>The OECD’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2024/01/rethinking-health-system-performance-assessment_c9e8ce53.html">Health System Performance Assessment (HSPA) Framework</a> outlines how HCQO indicators relate to the OECD’s HSPA domains of Access, Quality and People’s needs and preferences</li> </ul>
