MODULE TWO: STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS
We have worked with other DHBs in the Midland region, our primary care partners as well as other key stakeholders to develop the Statement of Performance Expectations in which we provide measures and forecast standards of our output delivery performance. The actual results against these measures and standards will be presented in our Annual Report 2015/16. The performance measures chosen are not an exhaustive list of all of our activity, but they do reflect a good representation of the full range of outputs that we fund and / or provide. They also have been chosen to show the outputs which contribute to the achievement of national, regional and local outcomes (see modules 1 and 2). Where possible, we have included with each measure past performance as baseline data.
Activity not mentioned in this module will continue to be planned, funded and/or provided to a high standard. We do report quarterly to the Ministry of Health and / or our Board on our performance related to this activity.
2.1 Output Classes
DHBs must provide measures and standards of output delivery performance under aggregated output classes. Outputs are goods and services that are supplied to someone outside our DHB. Output classes are an aggregation of outputs, or groups of similar outputs of a similar nature. The output classes used in our statement of forecast service performance are also reflected in our financial measures (appendix 8.3). The four output classes that have been agreed nationally are defined in appendix 8.2. They represent a continuum of care, as follows:
