The article discusses health performance measurement systems for indigenous peoples in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Canada created the Aboriginal Health Reporting Framework. New Zealand chose the He Korowai Oranga as the national strategic framework for Maori health. Australia collaboratively developed a health services framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. The authors suggest that Indigenous health-care performance measurement systems are underdeveloped because they are government-driven systems and do not focus enough on traditional medicine and cultural integrity.
