(d) Currently the district Health Information system, which is the agreed upon information system between the National and Provincial Departments of Health collects and reports on nine mental health data elements on a monthly basis in terms of the National Indicator Data Set. One of the nine data elements is "mental health client total" which is utilized to calculate and report on caseloads on clients who attended ambulatory (non-patient) services for mental health conditions per facility. The current system does not collect information and report on caseload per health practitioner that provides a service.
