PMHC MDS Early Psychosis Youth Service (EPYS) Program reporting update - 1/5/2023
The following advice was communicated by the Department of Health and Aged Care via e-mail to PHN CEOs on 1 May 2023 in an “Early Psychosis Youth Service (EPYS) Program reporting and commissioning update”:
EPYS data reporting: PHN service providers are not required to report EPYS activity through the Primary Mental Health Care Minimum Dataset (PMHC MDS), and this is currently not supported. EPYS program data should be collected through the headspace Application Platform Interface (hAPI), based on the Minimum Data Set specified. The Department will work with headspace National to consider how EPYS data in hAPI may be submitted via the PMHC MDS in the future and what changes will be required to support that. We encourage PHNs to minimise duplicative reporting requirements for service providers, and provide feedback to the Department on data collection and reporting via MentalHealthData@health.gov.au
