The European Service Mapping Schedule (ESMS)is a classification system developed for describing adult mental health services that was later adapted for the assessment of health and social systems research (Description and Evaluation of Services and DirectoriEs - DESDE).
GLOCAL:
Applies the knowledge gained from assessing local health care services using the ESMS/DESDE system and the integrated atlases of mental health care, to other target populations and countries.
Generates local health system metadata sets based on published local atlases of health care and regional directories of health care around the world.
Incorporates these metadata sets into a metadata repository to enable international comparisons of health systems' characteristics and services.
Uses this knowledge base for evidence-informed policy and planning - including national and international comparisons, benchmarking, and technical efficiency analysis.
Atlases of health and social care
Integrated atlases provide vital information for integrated care planning. They include data on service availability and capacity across all sectors of care in a health jurisdiction, as well as the social and demographic characteristics and health-related needs of the region, to provide an analysis of the local pattern of mental health care delivery and opportunity for regional and longitudinal comparison.
