2009-10 Performance Framework for Victorian Health Services

The 2009-10 Statement of Priorities and Performance Framework Business Rules (PDF File 647KB) - September 2009

The purpose of this document is to describe the mechanisms used by the Department of Health (the department) to formally monitor public health service and denominational hospitals’ performance in 2009-10.

The Health Services Act 1988 formally defines public health services and denominational hospitals.  To ensure an appropriate level of accountability for these health services, a framework has been implemented which includes:

• Annual Statement of Priorities (SoP) that sets out the policy priorities of the government, health service specific priorities and expected levels of performance in key areas for the financial year. 
  
  
• Performance Monitoring Framework (PMF) that enables the department to transparently monitor, analyse and evaluate a health service’s performance. The PMF score reflects both access and financial aspects of performance and is calculated on a quarterly basis.

The PMF score indicates the level of monitoring and the level of intervention undertaken by the department.
