Term
Description
Medicine

Measure / indicator
A measure identifies the focus for measurement: it specifies what is to be measured.
NCHIP
National Child Health Information Programme – records and monitors children’s health milestones from birth to 18 years
Objectives
Is not defined in the legislation. The use of this term recognises that not all outputs and activities are intended to achieve “outputs”. E.g. Increasing the take-up of programmes; improving the retention of key staff; Improving performance; improving relationships; improving Governance...etc. are ‘internal to the organisation and enable the achievement of ‘outputs’.
Outcome
Outcomes are the impacts on or the consequences for, the community of the outputs or activities of government. In common usage, however, the term 'outcomes' is often used more generally to mean results, regardless of whether they are produced by government action or other means. An intermediate outcome is expected to lead to an end outcome, but, in itself, is not the desired result. An end outcome is the final result desired from delivering outputs. An output may have more than one end outcome; or several outputs may contribute to a single end outcome. (Refer http://www.ssc.govt.nz/glossary/)
A state or condition of society, the economy or the environment and includes a change in that state or condition. (Public Finance Act 1989).
Output classes
Are an aggregation of outputs. (Public Finance Act 1989). Outputs can be grouped if they are of a similar nature.
Outputs
Are final goods and services, that is, they are supplied to someone outside the entity. They should not be confused with goods and services produced entirely for consumption within the DHB group (Crown Entities Act 2004).
Ownership
The Crown's core interests as 'owner' can be thought of as:
Strategy - the Crown's interest is that each state sector organisation contributes to the public policy objectives recognised by the Crown;
Capability - the Crown's interest is that each state sector organisation has, or is able to access, the appropriate combination of resources, systems and structures necessary to deliver the organisation's outputs to customer specified levels of performance on an ongoing basis into the future;
Performance - the Crown's interest is that each organisation is delivering products and services (outputs) that achieve the intended results (outcomes), and that in doing so, each organisation complies with its legislative mandate and obligations, including those arising from the Crown's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi, and operates fairly, ethically and responsively. (Refer http://www.ssc.govt.nz/glossary/).
Primary Health Organisation
Primary health organisations are funded by DHBs to support the provision of essential primary health care services through general practices to those people who are enrolled with the primary health organisations.

Project Energize

Regional collaboration
Regional collaboration refers to DHBs across geographical ‘regions’ for the purposes of planning and delivering services (clinical and non-clinical) together. Our region is: Midland: Bay of Plenty DHB, Lakes DHB, Tairawhiti District Health, Taranaki DHB, Waikato DHB,
Regional collaboration for some clinical networks may vary slightly. For example Central Cancer Network includes Taranaki DHB in addition to the Central Region DHBs.
Statement of Performance Expectations
Government departments, and those Crown entities from which the Government purchases a significant quantity of goods and services, are required to include audited statements of objectives and statements of service performance with their financial statements. These statements report whether the organisation has met its service objectives for the year. (http://www.ssc.govt.nz/glossary/)
