Learning Lab: Inclusive Approaches to Strategic Planning for Improved Quality
Speakers: Sharon Fenn and Michelle Aregood, Southcentral Foundation
This Learning Lab is for those who are looking for ways to improve their strategic planning processes. Southcentral Foundation (SCF), an Alaska Native customer-owned health care system, has developed a strategic planning process that is flexible, completely transparent, involves all employees, is based on patient feedback, and operates in a continuous cycle that flows from one fiscal year into the next. This process has helped SCF manage change and implement improvements requested by patients while staying focused on the organization’s mission and vision.
