EMHS 2021–22 performance summary
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and KPI targets assist EMHS to assess and monitor achievement of the outcomes outlined in the Outcome Based Management (OBM) framework (see Links to government goals and outcomes).
Effectiveness indicators provide information on the extent to which outcomes were achieved through the funding and delivery of services to the community.
Efficiency indicators monitor the relationship between the service delivered and the resources used to produce the service (i.e. activity and cost).
