Business Rules 2012-13

The Victorian Health Services Performance Monitoring Framework (VHSPMF) sets out the range of approaches and measures used to monitor health services and will be designed over time to ensure more consistent monitoring practices across the sector.

The purpose of this document is to describe the mechanisms used by the Department of Health to formally monitor health service performance in 2012-13.

The Health Services Act 1988 formally defines public health services, denominational hospitals and (rural) public 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.
  
• Victorian Health Services Performance Monitoring Framework (VHSPMF) that enables the department to transparently monitor, analyse and evaluate a health service's performance.
• The performance assessment score (PAS) reflects service access and financial aspects of performance and is calculated on a quarterly basis.
  

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