About
MHSIP People
receiving mental health services, and people managing and providing those services, have
questions about who's providing the best services at the best price, who needs services,
what the best treatments are for different kinds of problems, or who has the friendliest
staff. To answer any of these questions, people need dependable information.
That's what MHSIP is about--mental health information (or data), how to collect it, what
needs to be collected, where to find what others have collected, how to understand what
you find, how to report it so other people can understand it, and how to use it to make
decisions. A group called the Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program (MHSIP)
Policy Group has been working to develop standards for mental health data for the last 20
years. It is through the efforts of this group, supported by the federal Center for Mental
Health Services, and informed by people who receive mental health services, provide
services, and manage services, that this manual has been developed.
