Strategic Planning

New opportunities in healthcare including the electronic health record, advanced clinical systems such as bedside medication verification, and new regional paradigms for delivering information systems have left many organizations unsure of the best path forward. Healthtech Consultants Strategic Planning services can lead the development of your organization’s information technology and information management vision, and create a compelling roadmap that propels your organization forward.

Using Healthtech’s proprietary strategic planning methodology and tools, the strategic plan will be aligned with organizational goals, and designed to address your key operational and strategic objectives. It will identify opportunities to use enabling technologies effectively, and identify technology infrastructure and policy requirements. Healthtech understands the resource constraints that many Canadian healthcare organizations face as well as the challenges of leading change and driving adoption. As a result, our plans are typically built as a series of projects, including some quick wins, that culminate over time in the development of a broad IT/IM capability that delivers value to the organization and its key stakeholders such as patients, employees, and clinicians. Healthtech strategic plans focus on achieving your key business objectives – creating an electronic health record, creating capacity, reducing costs, or improving patient care.

Healthtech has developed strategic plans for all types of healthcare organizations, from small community centres to large multi-facility and regional systems and jurisdictions.  To review project summaries from some recent strategic planning engagements, please click here.
