Mental Health Activity Tracker (MHAT)

Helping you deliver effective, efficient and accessible mental health services

Mental Health Activity Tracker (MHAT) is a web-based benchmarking tool that enables both local and national comparative investigation and trend analysis to inform effective strategic decision making.

Pre-loaded with the Mental Health Minimum Dataset (MHMDS), MHAT helps mental health providers and commissioners measure and identify areas for improvement in service organisation, patient access and clinical quality.

Five reasons to use MHAT:

Enables local and national benchmarking of quality and efficiency
Improves data quality for performance measures
Allows easy identification of risk areas
Detects areas of effective service delivery
Provides insight into patterns of care to help demand management

MHAT was designed to support the fast-changing mental health policy environment, in line with the New Horizons programme and Informatics Planning 2010/11. With increasing focus on quality, efficiency and patient experience and greater accountability through Payment by Results (PbR), MHAT will help mental health service providers deliver services more efficiently.

Key Features:

Quality and Efficiency Benchmarks (QEB)
Standard summary reports, including activity summary, bed usage profile, and data quality reports
Indicates top 10 PCT referrals
Shows admission, discharge and readmission patterns
Highlights where community support is needed
Custom analysis of MHMDS data on a range of criteria, including demographics, geographics, clinical diagnosis, daily status and daily events
Peer group management for benchmarking in both QEB and analysis report
