This document summarizes a presentation on central leadership, governance, and regional cooperation in implementing New Zealand's National Health IT Plan. Key findings from 30 interviews with stakeholders involved in eHealth policy and implementation in New Zealand are discussed. Central leadership provided by the National Health IT Board was seen as instrumental in shifting the sector's direction. Regional cooperation also helped by centralizing some functions and distributing others. However, accompanying the regionalization was a lack of clear governance structures and slower decision-making. Defining functional frameworks and roles could help address these issues and further implementation efforts.

Local leaders report that integrated care can provide benefits like reduced hospital delays and admissions as well as improved patient experiences. Factors helping integration include leadership commitment, joint planning, and collaborative working between organizations. Hindrances include different data/IT systems, organizational complexity, and cultural differences. To accelerate integration, leaders emphasize sharing good practices, addressing financial barriers, and providing practical IT solutions rather than more central guidance. While reform disrupted some joint working, leaders remain optimistic about continuing integration under the new structures. Population-focused initiatives, multidisciplinary teams, and shared values are seen as most effective for patients. Efforts prioritize older adults, those with learning disabilities, and mental health patients. Aspirations for 2015 include further developing pooled budgets

HWBs are expected to (1) accredit and assess CCGs, approve their plans and budgets, and refer disagreements to the national board. (2) Develop joint strategic needs assessments and understand the impact of cost-cutting locally. (3) Champion public health and reduce inequalities. However, getting diverse stakeholders including GPs, councils, users, and the national board to agree will be challenging. HWBs must seek evidence-based, long-term solutions while building trust between sectors.

Using performance information for management - Eneken Lipp, EstoniaOECD Governance
The document discusses performance-based budgeting reforms in Estonia. It outlines the challenges that triggered reforms, including a lack of cooperation between planning and budgeting. Estonia is now using performance budgeting, with 2/3 of ministry budgets connected to public services. The concept of performance-based budgeting in Estonia ties resources to outcomes through program budgeting, defining all government costs as services, and service cost accounting. New legal amendments effective in 2020 will integrate strategic planning documents with the budget at the program level, allowing some flexibility in reallocating costs. The reform aims to increase efficiency, transparency, and cooperation through unified performance planning and budgeting systems.

Challenges to sustainability include fiscal constraints, coordination across agencies, and increasing coverage of social assistance and insurance programs. Key factors in the system's success have been strong government commitment, donor support, effective implementation structures, and accountability mechanisms.
Opening Speech - Commissioner Andor E NSocial Europe
The document summarizes the progression of employment and training policy in the United States, specifically the establishment of the One-Stop system through the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. It mandates that 16 employment and training programs provide services through the One-Stop system. Each state has one or more local workforce investment boards that make key policy decisions and oversee the local One-Stop centers. While the One-Stop system aims to consolidate services, it faces challenges around funding, developing linkages between programs, and governance. Assessments of its effectiveness are limited and renewal of the Act is still needed to address questions around investment, stakeholder participation, balancing flexibility and accountability, and adapting to changing conditions.
This document summarizes the work of the Milbank Memorial Fund to develop and promote measures of primary care spending. It discusses a study finding that commercial health plans spend between 4-8% of total medical spending on primary care. It outlines Milbank's agenda to build evidence on primary care spending, collaborate with other organizations, and disseminate findings. Milbank plans further research, supporting state efforts to replicate measurement and regulation, and continued work to increase primary care investment.
The document outlines the key elements of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) platform, which include eligibility criteria, action plan guidelines, a rapid response mechanism, working groups, and support from multilateral institutions. It describes OGP's focus on budget transparency, access to information, asset disclosure, and citizen engagement. The document also provides details on OGP's action plan guidelines, rapid response mechanism, working groups in areas like open data and extractives, support from organizations like the World Bank and UNDP, and its independent reporting and self-assessment processes.
This document discusses the role of senior civil servants in organizational performance and accountability. It argues that senior civil servants are key to performance because they can align organizational goals with employee objectives, control inputs and processes to influence performance, and leverage tacit knowledge. Creating a performance framework with both "hard" drivers like regulations and "soft" drivers like culture is important. Regular, data-informed performance dialogues between senior civil servants and the center of government can ensure accountability and course corrections. Investing in civil service capabilities like leadership, recruitment, and development is also vital for high performance.
Paying for Value in Medicaid: A Synthesis of Advanced Payment Models in Four ...soder145
1. The document analyzes Medicaid payment reform models in four states - Arkansas, Minnesota, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.
2. State budget pressures often provided the initial motivation for reform. States aim to improve outcomes while containing costs through payment incentives and care delivery changes.
3. The models vary significantly between states but commonly seek to link payments to quality and cost performance measures in order to influence provider behavior.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

7. Implementing initiatives
Specific initiatives in the New Zealand context
1. Use information to better understand peoples’ needs (e.g. Analytics
and Insights).
2. Set measurable outcomes (e.g. Welfare modelling).
3. Connect to the allocation of resources, including through the
government’s budget (e.g. Cost Benefit Analysis).
4. Purchase outcomes / move funding to effective uses (e.g.
Productivity Commission Inquiry).
5. Measure progress to improve services and inform future
investment decisions (e.g. Social Investment Agency).
6. Join-up the leadership of the sector (e.g. Social Investment Board).
8. • Data & analytics
• Budget & fiscal management
• Commissioning
• System design and leadership
• Outcomes framework
Five Elements
9. 1. Data & analysis
Integrated data for a better New Zealand
Statistics New Zealand operates a five-safes environment, balancing privacy and confidentiality with
data insights. For information about applying to use the IDI or to learn about how we keep the data safe,
see www.stats.govt.nz/idi
Statistics New Zealand’s Integrated Data
Infrastructure (IDI) is a rich analytical
environment comprising linked
administrative data from across
government, and survey data such as the
2013 Census.
The IDI provides a longitudinal view of
people and their families through their
interactions with government. It is a safe
access point for researchers to utilise the
resulting data.
The Integrated Data team refresh the IDI
quarterly, facilitate the sharing of
metadata and code, and support other
capability building to optimise the use of
the tool.
The Longitudinal Business Database
(LBD) complements the IDI with
microdata about businesses.
10. 2. Budget and fiscal management
• Using the Cost Benefit Analysis-X
tool provides an impacts database
to consistently quantify benefits.
• Scrutiny from an investment panel
of external practitioners and
experts.
• Ex post evaluation and scrutiny of
existing spending and settings.
• Integrate into the fiscal
management system and focus
benefit realisation and risk
management.

Should
international
students be
allowed longer
work
entitlements?

impact of mental
health on
education and
employment?
How can crime
and harm from
crime be
prevented?

improve outcomes
for the homeless?
21. Progress – some results to date
Financial
• $13.7 billion reduction in future lifetime cost of the welfare system
• 24 per cent reduction in sole parent benefit recipients
• 17 per cent reduction in benefit-dependent homes
Non-Financial
• Shared accountability across government agencies for social
outcomes e.g. the Better Public Services (BPS) Outcomes.
• Evidence of new commissioning practices to achieve results– social
impact bonds, placed-based initiatives.
• Increased contestability of advice on social outcomes evidenced
through the use of science advisors, Non-governmental organisation
(NGO) participation and adoption of the Open Government
Initiatives.
22. • The lag between action and results in data sets
• The design of interventions to improve outcomes for
people in need
• Adapting the approaches for application outside the
social sector
• Integration into fiscal management frameworks
• Communication to support public debate
Challenges
24. • Implementing a Living
Standards Framework
• Greater focus on wellbeing
• Improved prioritisation of
investment choices
• Learning from international
experiences
• Public trust and social licence
Future direction
25. Living Standards Framework
• The New Zealand Treasury uses a Living
Standards Framework to consider the
impact of policies on intergenerational
wellbeing.
• It supplements income measures to more
fully answer questions about current
outcomes, sustainability and the resilience.
• Practical implementation of the LSF would
see Treasury no longer silo its economic
policy work (such as the Economic and
Fiscal Update) from its role overseeing
agency expenditure and cost effectiveness
• The Framework draws on OECD analysis of
indicators of wellbeing.

26. Wellbeing outcomes
• Current outcomes are assessed
using indices of both quality of life
and material conditions.
• Each element has a distribution in
the population and may vary across
sub-populations.
• It cannot be measured as a single
number without making significant
value judgements e.g. how
important is health relative to
income.
• We are investigating supplements
to OECD measures to capture New
Zealand specific issues
27. Wellbeing outcomes

Provisional table of current wellbeing indicators for New Zealand.
Indicators in light blue are proposed New Zealand specific measures.
28. • Evidenced-based policy and expenditure is not new, but advances in
technology and analytics have brought new insight to improve
decision-making and resource allocation.
• The initiatives adopted in New Zealand, illustrate a comprehensive
change programme across institutions, accountability arrangements,
fiscal management, service design, and review in order to fully apply
the insights from technology and analytics in public expenditure.
• Results to date are driving further development and investment, but
there appears no single solution or approach to achieving the
outcomes.
• Insights from across countries are helping to frame, implement and
review the initiatives adopted in New Zealand.
