To comply with legislative obligations as a WA Government agency, EMHS is required to report financial and operational performance using an Outcome Based Management (OBM) framework (Department of Treasury requirement). This framework links outcomes, activities, services and Treasury approved Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to State Government priorities and desired outcomes.
Targets for the OBM KPIs listed below are calculated and set by the System Manager.
