CVD AND DIABETES INDICATORS
The CVD and Diabetes basic phase indicators that have been developed for the Programme are now currently with the Programme’s Governance Group for endorsement.
The Programme has been continuing to work with its Advisory Group to propose appropriate goals and targets for each of the indicators. These goals and targets have been tabled for discussion at the Programme’s Governance Group meeting being held on 25 July 2008. Information relating to goals and targets will be communicated to you in due course, once endorsement from the Governance Group has been received.
If you have any enquiries please contact Serena Curtis-Lemuelu.

INCREASING THE PROVISION OF DATA TO PHOs
Presently the Programme team provides reports to PHOs, DHBs and the MOH on a quarterly (three monthly) basis. However due to the process that the Programme undertakes to generate the reports, the data provided to PHOs, DHBs and the MOH is at least three months in arrears. Therefore the Programme has explored the possibility of providing monthly data extracts to PHOs in addition to the standard quarterly report process. A document identifying options and recommendations has been tabled for endorsement by the Programme’s Governance Group at the meeting being held on 25 July 2008. Information relating to the specifics of the monthly extracts will be communicated to you in due course, once endorsement from the Governance Group has been received.
If you have any enquiries please contact Serena Curtis-Lemuelu.

REASONABLENESS OF TARGETS ANALYSIS
Now that 70 PHOs have completed annual performance periods the Programme has undertaken a review of the target setting model that was originally developed by the Wellington School of Medicine. The Programme conducted analysis to ascertain whether the current target setting model continues to be as reasonable and realistic as it was when it was first introduced on 1 January 2006. A paper detailing the findings of the analysis has been tabled for discussion at the Programme’s Governance Group meeting being held on 25 July 2008. Information relating to revised target setting processes will be communicated in due course, once endorsement from the Governance Group has been received.
If you have any enquiries please contact Serena Curtis-Lemuelu.

SMOKING INDICATORS
The Programme has been working with the Tobacco Control Project team of the Ministry of Health to develop indicators around smoking cessation. An analysis on how smoking status is recorded in PMS systems has recently been completed and 4 proposed indicators have been tabled for discussion by the Programme’s Advisory Group at the meeting being held on 5 August 2008. Information relating to the indicators will not be communicated until the indicators have been supported by the Advisory Group and then endorsed by the Governance Group.
