.. _introduction: Introduction ============ Version 5.0 includes The Way Back as part of the default specification and rebrands it to Universal Aftercare. Version 5.0 also completes the rebranding of AMHC/HeadtoHealth to Medicare Mental Health Centre (MMHC) by retiring the AMHC Program Type and renaming the Head to Health Program Type to Head To Health Clinic. In order to support Universal Aftercare a `9: Universal Aftercare` response has been added to the :ref:`dfn-program_type` field on both the Intake and Episode tables. In addition, seven entirely new tables have been added specifically for Universal Aftercare. These tables only need to be submitted where Episodes using the new `9: Universal Aftercare` Program Type are included. The new tables are: * :ref:`ua-episode-data-elements` * :ref:`ua-recommendation-out-data-elements` * :ref:`ua-critical-incident-data-elements` * :ref:`ua-plan-data-elements` * :ref:`ua-needs-identification-data-elements` * :ref:`sidas-data-elements` * :ref:`who5-data-elements` A new :ref:`dfn-veteran` field has been added to the Intake and Episode tables. This field was included in The Way Back specification. There is a new IAR-DST varient in development for Veterans. Veterans has been included on the Intake and Episode tables instead of the new UA Episode table so that it can be used for monitoring both the IAR-DST and Univeral Aftercare. A new :ref:`dfn-iar_dst_practitioner_reason_for_override` field has been added to the IAR-DST table. AMHC and Head to Health have been rebranded as Medicare Mental Health Centres (MMHC). Version 4.1.1 introduced the `8: MMHC` reponse for :ref:`dfn-program_type`. The following changes have been applied to the :ref:`dfn-program_type` field on both the Intake and Episode tables: * `2: Head to Health` renamed to `2: Head to Health Clinic`. This response is only to be used by remaining temporary Head to Health Clinics in NSW and Victoria. Please refer to :ref:`dfn-program_type` for more information. * `3: AMHC` has been retired. An error will be returned if this response is used. .. _introduction-contexts: Contexts -------- As in the version 4 specification, there are three contexts where data can be submitted using the version 5 specification: 1. Intake teams 2. Treatment organisations 3. Combined Intake/Treatment organisations Different records in the specification are intended to be used in each of these contexts.

Intake and IAR-DST activity is not submitted in this context. The collection of Universal Aftercare data is only required where organisations are providing the Universal Aftercare program. .. _introduction-combined-context: Combined Intake/Treatment Context ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Where an organisation is providing both intake services and treatment services, they can use the full data model to submit data to the PMHC MDS: .. figure:: figures/data-model-v5.0-combined.svg :alt: PMHC MDS v5.0 Combined Intake/Treatment Service Provider Data Model In the combined context all the records described in both the :ref:`introduction-intake-context` and :ref:`introduction-treatment-context` can be submitted.
