STRATEGIC PLAN 2011AND BEYOND JOSEPH BRANT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
2 A new Strategic Plan In 2010, our Board of Governors undertook to refresh our Strategic Plan. Following extensive consultation with our staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB) LHIN, City of Burlington, community partners and public, our Board of Governors approved the JBMH Strategic Plan in June 2011. This strategic plan sets out a high level road map to meet our new Mission and inspired Vision in the years ahead through the direction we set out and live in our Values. This is not a static process and we will monitor our progress against the specific goals we set out in this document. We will continue to shape our strategies and adjust our course as new challenges and opportunities arise to ensure we provide safe, quality care to our patients. Through a dedicated team of staff, physicians and volunteers and our many partners throughout the community and beyond, we at JBMH are committed to delivering Compassionate Care, Exemplary Service, Every time.
Understanding the Landscape Health care is an ever changing environment in which we must anticipate and adapt to the needs and expectations of those we serve every day to ensure we consistently deliver exceptional care and service. This Strategic Plan was developed to define the best approach for the Hospital to meet clients needs. The plan was based on a comprehensive review of changing demographics, community needs, future health care trends and the directions set by local and provincial governments. It reflects today s realities and builds a road map to meet the present and future needs of patients, staff, volunteers, partners and the community. In 2009, the HNHB LHIN developed an Integrated Service Plan 2010 2013 which outlined the challenges facing health care providers today such as an aging population, a higher burden of illness and scarce resources. In the Plan, the LHIN outlined priorities including improving patient access, clinical service integration, reducing wait times and chronic disease management. Through consultations, we heard from our patients, their families and broader community that quality and safety remain a priority although service and access were key factors in delivering an exceptional patient experience. By recognizing the landscape around us and engaging our patients, team, partners and community in building this plan, we have set priorities to not only meet the needs of today but leverage opportunities to achieve our Vision of tomorrow. At JBMH, we take the responsibility of serving the health care needs of our community seriously and we are committed to a comprehensive plan that delivers safe, quality care to all of our patients.
