Health Improvement Performance Management Review
NHS Health Scotland is working with the Scottish Government to develop outcome-focused approaches for planning and managing performance for Health Improvement.
Aim
The aim of this work is to develop outcome approaches to planning and managing performance of health improvement activities. The approaches aim to be:
- outcomes focused
- usable by community planning partners and helpful in aligning their performance management systems
- consistent with the national performance framework, including SOA and HEAT.
The work is advised by a high level multi-agency Steering Group chaired by the Scottish Government.
Current Year 2009/10
In 2009/10 we have been developing "tools" for:
- mental health and wellbeing
- obesity
- the refreshed Healthy Working Lives strategy 'Health Works'.
These "tools" will be completed by April 2010. We are also developing a website specifically for these tools.
2008/09
In 2008 we used the HIPM framework developed in 2007/08 to:
- inform and revise the HEAT targets for CHD.
- create "tools" that CPPs can use in developing SOA and the outcome-focused plans and performance information required to underpin them.
We have developed tools in the following areas:
- tobacco control
- physical activity
- alcohol
and they can be found on the Local Government page about Health Improvement Tools for the SOA(Single Outcome Agreement) process.
2007/08
The NHS Working Group, made up of representatives from the area boards, recommended three revised HI HEAT targets for 2008/09 on:
- tobacco - smoking cessation
- alcohol - alcohol brief interventions
- early years – exclusive breastfeeding rates
These were accepted and two further revisions (on child obesity and suicide prevention) were added by the Scottish Government. These were published in the Better Health Better Care Action Plan (Dec 2007) (external link)
