4.1.2 Organisational Performance Management
Our performance is assessed on both non-financial and financial measures. The table in section 4.5.2 of this module provides an overview of the external reporting. Our overall planned performance as a funder and provider of health services for 2015/16 is outlined in this plan and will be reported to our senior management, Board and the Ministry of Health on a regular basis.
4.1.2.1 Non-financial performance reporting
Non-financial performance, which relates to volume and performance expectations for health service provision (by Health Waikato, primary health organisations and the non-government organisations we fund), is monitored regularly. It is one of the tools we use to identify issues and inform decision-making to improve our performance.
As a funder we monitor the agreements we have with providers through effective portfolio management which includes regular performance reports and data analysis. We also monitor the quality of services provided through reporting of adverse incidents, routine audits, service reviews and issues-based audits.
We report quarterly to the Ministry of Health on the required measures in the DHB Non- Financial Monitoring Framework and regularly feed into benchmarking and quality programmes to compare our performance with other providers. We support the national expectation that the public should be informed about health system performance by publishing our performance against the national health targets.
We report to our Board through our regular narrative reporting process on performance against our Annual Plan. These reports are provided and discussed in Board Meetings and are available to the public as part of the relevant Board agenda.
