Health Targets 2009 to 2010 |
|
|
There are currently six Health Targets and their aim is to simplify monitoring and reporting requirements to enable DHBs to focus more tightly on key areas.
Three targets focus on hospital performance:
Shorter stays in Emergency Departments
Improved access to Elective Surgery, and
Shorter waits for Cancer Treatment Radiotherapy.
The other three targets focus on preventive measures:
Increased Immunisation
Better help for Smokers to Quit, and
Better Diabetes and Cardiovascular Services.
Each target is for a specific treatment within a service and are designed to stretch and challenge us to produce measurable gains through steady and repeated improvements. Below are the 1st quarter results for 2009/10.
