The collection of information relating to mental health care reflects the variety of clinical settings in which this service is delivered. People receiving their care as inpatients in psychiatric hospitals will generate records held nationally on Scottish Morbidity Record 04 (SMR04) which is dedicated to this area of health service provision.
Other patient contact with, for example, specialist community mental health teams, general practice or outpatient facilities is recorded as part of more general data schemes.
The information in this section has been updated to include data for the year ending 31 March 2011
- Hospital inpatients (summary of psychiatric hospital activity, including admissions, discharges, age and sex characteristics and geographic information).
- Mental illness inpatient specialties (admissions to psychiatric hospital by clinical specialty and type of admission).
- Formal and informal admissions (admissions to psychiatric hospitals under Mental Health Legislation).
- Destination on discharge (information on where patients go following discharge from psychiatric hospital).
- Length of stay Summary (statistics on the time spent by inpatients in psychiatric hospitals).
- Discharges by diagnosis group (volumes of discharges in selected key diagnostic groups by type of admission and age).
- Psychiatric readmissions (information on the number of readmissions to psychiatric hospitals (HEAT target)).
- Day patients Trends (day patient attendance in the psychiatric specialties).
- Outpatients (summary of attendance at outpatient clinics in the psychiatric specialties including non-attendance rates).
