Online Measures Self Service System

The Online Measures Self Service System (OMSSS) is a service funded by the Australian Government Department of Health as part of the Primary Mental Health Care Minimum Data Set (PMHC MDS). It allows clients of mental health services commissioned by Primary Health Networks (PHNs) to complete the standardised outcome measures mandated in the PMHC MDS and have the results reported back to their service providers.

The K10+, K5 and SDQ are now available through the OMSSS.

The user guides have been updated to reflect these updates. They are available at https://docs.pmhc-mds.com/.
