Therefore, drawing on existing surveillance and/or health assessment information will be universal to all providers. Some providers will provide data they collect to another part of the organisation, or to another agency, for that data to be used to produce an information product (eg, non-governmental organisations [NGOs] or public health units [PHUs] may provide data to support the district health board [DHB] Planning and Funding team to produce a Health Needs Assessment [HNA]). Some providers may also produce information products using the data they or others collect (eg, regional level report on alcohol-related harm or on measles outbreak). Public Health SurveillanceThe components purchased under this specification include:a local/regional surveillance system that is fit for purpose the review, analysis, reporting and dissemination of existing local and regional surveillance data (communicable and non-communicable, regulatory/non-regulatory). This is undertaken to support the prioritisation of resources and planning of public health control and prevention strategies and programmes at all levels (local, regional, national, international).collection, collation, analysis, reporting and dissemination of any local/regional surveillance data not required under legislation i.e. non-regulatory (and not described under the Health Protection or Preventive Intervention specifications), as agreed with the Ministry of Health (the Ministry). Surveillance activities under this specification are aligned to those delivered under the tier two Health Protection and Preventive Intervention service specifications and their subordinate tier three service specifications. The tier two Health Protection and its subordinate service specifications describe surveillance activities that support regulatory components of: communicable disease prevention and control; environment/border health; smoke-free; psychoactive substances and misuse of drugs; and sale, supply and use of alcohol. The tier two Preventive Intervention and its subordinate service specifications describe the National Immunisation Register, vaccine preventable disease surveillance and screening registers. This service specification excludes anything that is already funded under the tier two Health Protection and Preventive Intervention service specifications.Population Health Assessment Population health assessment includes the measurement, monitoring and reporting of the population’s health including health status, health determinants, and threats to health, with a particular focus on health inequities and the health of Māori ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Ontario.

This information contributes to an understanding of health needs of the population and is one of the considerations for identification of priority populations and priorities for service development and delivery. The service may use existing sources of information to inform their understanding of their populations health outcomes (including impact on specific population sub-groups and on health inequities) or where appropriate lead or participate in the collaborative development and ongoing maintenance of, for example, HNA, Population Health Profiles, disease/risk specific reports, reports on key health determinants.

ExclusionsRefer to the tier one Public Health Services service specification. In addition, the following exclusions apply.Capital expenditure for IT systems.National surveillance services delivered directly by, for example, the Institute of Environmental Science and Research Ltd (ESR), Massey University Centre for Public Health Research and University of Otago AIDs Epidemiology Group are excluded from this specification. Services delivered by these organisations are described in Appendix 3. Services described under this service specification should link and be aligned with these national services, where appropriate. Service DeliverySome public health services will be purchased and delivered using an outcomes framework. Where the outcome framework is Results Based Accountability? (RBA), the funder and provider will first agree the population outcomes that the provider’s service will contribute to. Then the mix of activities and the associated performance measures that contribute to these outcomes will be negotiated. A guidance document with related performance measures based on RBA is available for download on the NSFL website (see section titled “Downloads”).The tables below set out a menu of activities for each of the Health Assessment and Surveillance components.
