The National Youth Information Framework, previously used in developing indicators for the Young Australians: their health and wellbeing 2007 report, is aligned very closely with the NHPF, with minor modifications to better capture health and wellbeing issues relevant to young people. This framework consists of three tiers:
Health status,
Determinants of health and
Health system performance,
and includes a number of dimensions within each tier. The National Youth Information Framework provides a comprehensive set of indicators across a range of dimensions that will help monitor the health and wellbeing of young Australians.
Community factors, such as, social capital, support services, family function and environment, and socioeconomic factors, such as, housing, education, employment and income.
Care/intervention/action provided is relevant to the client’s needs and based on established standards. Care, intervention or action achieves the desired outcome.
Achieving desired results with most cost-effective use of resources. Capacity of system to sustain workforce and infrastructure, to innovate and respond to emerging needs.
The avoidance, or reduction to acceptable limits, of actual or potential harm from health-care management or the environment in which health care is delivered.
