Subject:
Quarter #2 Planning Report
Background
Following the completion of the 2018 planning cycle and the submission of the new Annual Service Plan (ASP) required by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC), the Planning and Strategic Initiatives (PSI) department undertook an assessment of its planning processes in order to look for ways to better align our planning approach with the MOHLTC requirements in the development of new planning and reporting structure for 2019 and beyond.
Current Initiatives
Planning for 2019
The PSI department worked with the Information Technology (IT) department to align our planning system with the MOHLTC requirements to ensure a single, integrated approach to planning for 2019. Changes to the process include the incorporation of Ministry terminology, the inclusion of intervention performance indicators, and increased planning support for staff and managers. The PSI department has provided several planning training sessions with staff and management from all divisions. Work with managers and departments has continued over the summer months to align the 2019 organizational planning outcomes with the MOHLTC requirements, in order to maximize efficiency and ensure consistency across the organization.
Reporting Structure
The MOHLTC has yet to provide standard reporting structures for the ASP. Upon receiving the updated reporting templates and guidelines the PSI department will work with the IT department to integrate these requirements into the planning system.
