Part iii: The six key components of the Te Pou Information Utility Strategy

There are six key components to the Information Utility Strategy for Te Pou.

They are:

1. Mental health information needs to be presented in a way which is understood by the recipient in order to be useful.

2. There are five levels of information utility: consumer-clinician level (that is consumer and clinician utility or support utility), team level; DHB level, regional level and national level (see Fig 1 and 2 below).

3. In order to ensure that mental health information is understood by the sector, Te Pou will ensure training in information utility occurs over the next two years.

4. Te Pou will ensure that there is an inclusive approach to information utility, where consumer, clinician, tangata whaiora and their whanau, Maori and Pacific perspectives, amongst others, are well represented.

5. That mental health information is used in a way which supports consumer recovery.

6. Clinical information utility (as a sub category of information utility) is the initial focus for Te Pou.
