2004 Inventory of Mental Health Organizations, General Hospital Mental Health Services, and Managed Care Organizations Survey (IMHO)—(OMB No. 0930-0119)—Revision
The 2004 IMHO will be conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). The design of the 2004 IMHO will be different from the 1998, 2000, and 2002 surveys. For 2004, we will return to just one data collection phase. This single phase, used by all surveys prior to 1998, will be a 100% enumeration of all known mental health organizations. The 2004 IMHO will utilize five separate questionnaires: (1) The Mental Health Organization Inventory; (2) The General Hospital Inventory; (3) The General Hospital Screener; (4) The Community Residential Organization Screener; and (5) The Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organization questionnaire.
Organizational data, to be collected by the Inventory questionnaires, include service categories, client/patient census by basic demographics, revenues, expenditures, and staffing. The purpose of the two screener questionnaires will be to confirm whether direct and separate mental health services are being provided in these organizations.
The resulting data base will be used to provide national estimates and will be the basis of the National Directory of Mental Health Services. In addition, data derived from the survey will be published by CMHS in Data Highlights, in Mental Health, United States, and in professional journals such as Psychiatric Services and the American Journal of Psychiatry. The publication Mental Health, United States is used by the general public, State governments, the U.S. Congress, university researchers, and other health care professionals. The following Table summarizes the burden for the survey.
