MP 0111/19 - Performance Management Policy (pdf 205KB)
Applicable to: Health Service Providers
Description
Under the Health Services Act 2016, the Department of Health, led by the Director General as the System Manager, is responsible for monitoring the performance of Health Service Providers and taking remedial action when performance does not meet expected standards of performance.
This Policy is a mandatory requirement under the Performance Policy Framework pursuant to section 26(2)(d) of the Health Services Act 2016. This Policy supersedes the Performance Management Policy 2018-19.
The Performance Management Policy (PMP) prescribes the performance management component of the Service Agreements. The PMP provides a transparent and integrated reporting, monitoring, evaluation and intervention process to support the achievement of expected standards of performance. The performance indicators in the PMP, included in Addendums, are aligned to the four priorities and seven enablers detailed in the WA Health Strategic Intent 2015-20.
