Implementation period: September 2023 to August 2024
Presentation and description:
The Dashboard of Mental Health Indicators (or Painel de Indicadores em Saúde Mental in Portuguese) aims to simplify access to essential data for mental health municipal coordinators. These professionals play a critical role in managing health services and ensuring the delivery of mental healthcare across their respective territories.The initiative focuses on developing, implementing, and enhancing a digital dashboard to provide reliable mental health indicators, supporting the management actions of Municipal Health Departments.
The dashboard aims to:
– Facilitate the analysis of mental health service data within municipalities.
– Support decision-making processes for more strategic and informed management.
– Improve the overall quality of mental healthcare services delivered to the population.
By offering a user-friendly tool, the project enables mental health professionals to better understand the needs of their territories and populations, ultimately fostering improvements in public mental health services.

“The coordinations of mental health services within the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) often face overwhelming workload. When they need to make a wider analysis, such as evaluating different services in the municipality simultaneously, they do not have access to a simple source of information. Our platform enhances their work by providing quick access to accurate indicators, enabling more strategic and informed decisions”, says Daniela Krausz, Mental Health Leader at ImpulsoGov.
Beneficiary description:
The Dashboard of Mental Health Indicators benefits public health service managers, such as professionals who coordinate the Psychosocial Care Networks in municipalities and mental health services. They are also responsible for leading the services provided in the municipalities and are the main decision-makers regarding the care offered to the population. By addressing the scarcity of data about both mental healthcare managers and service users, this project organises and presents critical public information, fostering a more efficient and responsive mental healthcare system.
