Health Service develops strategic plan

Tuesday, April 27, 2004

The Health Services Authority recently concluded the first phase of a strategic planning exercise to formulate long-term plans to maintain the authority’s role as the leader in comprehensive, quality health care delivery in the Cayman Islands.

The two-day exercise held on 19 and 20 April, brought together individuals from diverse backgrounds within the community, including the private sector, clergy, insurance industry, Ministry of Health, the Board, management and staff of the HSA.

Chairman of the HSA Strategic Policy Committee, Tim Ridley said: “The wide cross-section of participants, representing all areas of the society, has provided invaluable input in shaping the future direction of the HSA and I am very pleased with the outcome of our deliberations.”

Mr Ridley is confident that the HSA can continue to move forward in an efficient and sustainable manner in delivering quality healthcare within the islands and at internationally accepted standards.

Acting Chief Executive Officer of the HSA, Eloise Reid stated: “The development of a strategic plan provides the HSA with a ‘road map’ which will guide the organisation in achieving its mission; sets a clear course of action to follow towards reaching specific objectives; establishes financial goals to meet the issues identified as critical to the success of the Health Services Authority”.

The Strategic Plan also provides for the periodic review of HSA operations as well as for analysis of future trends and needs to ensure it meets specific objectives.
