He Ritenga – Treaty of Waitangi Principles: Health Audit Framework
He Ritenga is a framework for assessing how culturally safe and appropriate our
services are for Maori.
It is designed to:
- monitor progress by District Health Boards and health providers against:
- audit and evaluate both clinical and non-clinical services.
It assists District Health Boards and providers to implement the Treaty of Waitangi
through five aspects of business:
- Service delivery
- Governance
- Workforce development
- Planning
- Intersectoral initiatives.
Audit is only a component of the He Ritenga initiative and the information will
serve as a basis for ongoing monitoring and improvement.
Recommendations following the audit include ways to:
- increase health and independence for Maori
- build relationships with key Maori stakeholders
- demonstrate a robust and comprehensive commitment to the health of Maori.
The current audit of services started in February 2008 and is scheduled to finish
by 2010.
