The National Suicide Prevention Outcomes Framework

The Data Quality and Improvement Plan makes sure data is fit-for-purpose for the Outcomes Framework. It consists of a Data Quality Framework (available below) and a Data Improvement Plan (in development).

Data Quality and Improvement

Monitoring and Reporting

The Data Quality Framework outlines criteria to define what fit-for-purpose means specifically for the Outcomes Framework. All potential new and existing data is assessed against these criteria to determine its quality. Fit-for-purpose data is included as data measures in the Outcomes Framework, while data that is not fit-for-purpose informs the Data Improvement Plan.
