Links to government goals and outcomes
To comply with legislative obligations as a WA Government agency, EMHS operates under the OBM framework determined by the DoH. This framework describes how outcomes, activities, services and KPIs are used to measure agency performance towards achieving the overarching whole-of-government and WA Health agency goals.
EMHS reports performance against KPIs for:
Outcome one: Public hospital based services that enable effective treatment and restorative healthcare for Western Australians; and
Outcome two: Prevention, health promotion and aged and continuing care services that help Western Australians to live healthy and safe lives.
WA Government goal: strong communities, safe communities and supported families
WA Health agency goal: delivery of safe, quality, financially sustainable and accountable healthcare for all Western Australians
