Statement of Service Performance for year ended 30 June 2012
Introduction
Section 142 of the Crown Entities Act 2004 requires District Health Boards (DHBs) to provide measures and
forecast standards of output delivery performance. Our results against these measures and standards for the
year ended 30 June 2012 are set out below.
DHBs are required to provide these measures and standards of output delivery performance under aggregated
output classes. There are four output classes for 2011/12.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Prevention
Early Detection and Management
Intensive Assessment and Treatment Services
Rehabilitation and Support.
For each output class there are agreed national output performance measures and targets.
Output classes allow DHBs to group services and demonstrate the population health ‘impacts’ of their
Population Based Funding (PBF) allocation decisions, Government priorities and national decision-making.
The function of the Statement of Forecast Service Performance is to summarise how the Bay of Plenty DHB
evaluated and assessed what services and products we needed to deliver as reflected in our 2011/12 Annual
Plan. It then demonstrates how we performed against the resulting targets and measures. The performance
measures chosen are not a comprehensive list and do not cover all of the activity of the DHB, but they do
reflect a picture of the major part of our activity against local, regional and national strategies and priorities.
Where possible, we have included past performance (baseline data) along with each performance target to
give the context of what we are trying to achieve. The Bay of Plenty DHB believes the outputs and measures as
presented in this section provide a good representation of the full range of services that we provide.
Output Class 1: Prevention
Preventative Services are publicly funded services that protect and promote health for the whole population
or identifiable sub-populations. They comprise services designed to enhance the health status of the
population as distinct from treatment services which repair/support health and disability dysfunction.
Preventative services address individual behaviours by targeting population wide physical and social
environments to influence health and wellbeing.
Preventative services include health promotion to ensure that illness is prevented and unequal outcomes are
reduced; statutorily mandated health protection services to protect the public from toxic environmental risk
and communicable diseases; and, population health protection services such as immunisation and screening
services.
Preventative services have the following strategic goals:
Strategic Goal 1: People are healthier, able to self-manage and live longer
Strategic Goal 2: People are able to participate more in society and retain their independence for
longer
Strategic Goal 3: People receive timely and appropriate complex care
Strategic Goal 4: Health inequalities between population groups in our community will reduce by
identifying and addressing preventable conditions across the population early.
