In this regard, the Negros Occidental Mental Health Informatics Resource (NOMHIR) project aims to digitalize the patient records of NORFI to establish a database of mental health patient data in the province. This database will be used for the reporting and analysis of the following:
- Resource allocation (medications, infrastructure, financial support) from government agencies (DOH, DSWD), and the municipal and provincial units of Negros Occidental
- Profile of mental health patients in the province, and
- Treatment outcomes of mental health patients in the province.
