    Effectiveness relates to what an organisation sets out to do. Has it achieved its objectives. Eg is amhealth service providing the sort of treatmemt it is supposed to.

    Efficiency/productivity are similar. This is compares inouts to outputs. For example, how many patients does a hospital deal with per doctor.
