Abstract

The Navy Mental Health Information System, NAHMIS, is a comprehensive, automated recordkeeping and reporting system designed to meet the needs of clinicians and administrators in Outpatient Navy Mental Health Clinics.

Data collection forms have been developed, along with standardized reports of individual patient/clinician consultations. Keywords: Mental health; Recordkeeping system, Computer reporting system; Outpatient mental health.
