Health Targets 2010 to 2011


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 2010/11.
