Outcome Based Management
The WA health system operates under an Outcome Based Management (OBM) Framework, in accordance with its legislative obligation as a WA Government Agency under section 61 of the Financial Management Act 2006 and Treasurer’s Instruction 904.
The OBM Framework describes how outcomes, services and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used to measure the WA health system’s performance towards achieving the relevant overarching whole-of-government goals. KPIs measure the effectiveness and efficiency of the services provided by the WA health system in achieving the required outcomes.
