HOW WE MEASURED OUR CORPORATE SERVICES PERFORMANCE IN 2004-2005 Our Performance Measures are established annually by Department of Human Services and can vary from year to year. Performance targets established for this program area are small and we are therefore unable to reliably calculate the % change in our annual performance. Performance Measures Performance Outcomes Outcomes Outcomes Targets 2004-2005 2003-2004 2002- 2003 Completion of quarterly reports and submission to Minister by the 21st day after end of reporting period (ie 21 Oct, 21 Jan., 21 April, 21 July). 100% 100% 100% 100% Number of responses for specialist advice and information to DHS and other government agencies. 5 3 6 2 Number of submissions that address gaps in service in forensic mental health, public mental health and justice environments. 3 4 4 4 Completion of Quarterly Security Audits and report to DHS by the 21st day after completion of audit (ie. 21 August, 21 Nov., 21 Feb., 21 May). 100% 100% 100% 100% Achieve service requirements within allocated funding. Target not required Surplus achieved Reduced highest Achieved with $1m turnaround projected deficit on approved $1.3m of approx $2m deficit budget to less than $0.7m. “ MAKING A DIFFERENCE ……… Forensicare’s staff at the Melbourne Assessment Prison (MAP) became concerned that prisoners with a mental illness could become ‘lost’ to mental health follow-up when they were transferred to another prison. A computer-based system was subsequently developed by staff to track the progress of these prisoners within the prisons operated by Corrections Victoria (11 in total). When a patient is discharged from the mental health program at the MAP, information is entered on a data base that alerts Forensicare when an identified prisoner has been received at a regional prison. The data base is continually monitored by Forensicare to ensure that identified prisoners are reviewed by a Forensicare psychiatrist at their new location in a timely manner. By addressing the concern that prisoners being discharged from the Acute Assessment Unit at MAP may become ‘lost’ from mental health follow-up in the prison health system, the development of the data base has filled a gap in the prison health continuum of care. 40
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Environmental Value Statement – Forensicare is committed to responsible environmental management and operating in a manner that protects the environment and is consistent with state and national standards. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY A comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Strategy 2005-2007 was completed by Forensicare in 2004, and implemented at the beginning of 2005. The full-year effect of the strategy will be evident in the coming year. The strategy promotes environmental awareness among Forensicare staff, patients, clients and visitors, and details initiatives to improve our environmental performance over the coming three years in the following areas – • Energy Conservation • Waste Management • Infection Control • Transport Two rainwater tanks were installed during the year, providing water for the garden area at the entrance to Thomas Embling Hospital and the cleaning of Forensicare’s car fleet. 41
