Average cost for the Department of Health to undertake system manager functions per health service provider full time equivalent Rationale Outcome 3 Health system management The Department of Health, in supporting the system manager, sets the vision and direction for the WA health system. It also provides executive oversight of strategic decision making, identifies health system priorities, and guides, oversees and manages the statewide health system. This includes the delivery of government priorities and responding to the emerging and current needs of the Western Australian community. Overall, the aim is to ensure the delivery of high quality, safe and timely health services. This indicator measures the efficiency with which the Department of Health undertakes its role in supporting the system manager. Target The target unit cost for 2022-23 is $4,632 per full time equivalent worker to undertake system manager functions. Improved or maintained performance is demonstrated by a result below or equal to the target. Results In 2022-23, the cost of the department to undertake system manager functions per health service provider full time equivalent was $5,490 (see Table 30). The variance to target is attributable to funding associated with major reform initiatives. This includes the Outpatient Reform Program and the establishment of the State Health Operations Centre at the department that will focus on improving coordination and collaboration between hospitals and other health service providers to improve patient flow and ease pressures on the health system including the demand on emergency departments. The overall reduced expenditure associated with the COVID-19 response in 2022-23 has resulted in a variance to 2021-22.
