overall objective is to increase affordability of treatment and to ensure that patients receive a good standard of care.
The planning framework is based on the burden of disease as per the national survey. Goals have been set and indicators have been developed
in the plan. The goals include better health through accessible and effective mental health-care, and appropriate and efficient utilization of resources,
maximizing individual potential, function and productivity.
In the sector development road map of the planning framework, process flows from demand assessment to supply assessment. Any gaps
identified are addressed. The process is dynamic as once the work plans are implemented, the population and burden of disease change. The sequence
of planning starts again, and depending on the revised burden of disease new plans are made.
Impact indicators: Reduction in treatment gap, increase in quantum
of services, number of patients seen, measure of quality of life for patients, patient satisfaction, number of mentally ill who are engaged in gainful
employment, number of at-work individuals who retain employment after discharge, and social indicators for level of interaction.
