Strategic goals
The key strategic directions for RCH are built around five organisational goals:
Excellence in healthcare includes models of care, infrastructure/capital investment;
Leadership in research and education includes relationship with MCRI/University of Melbourne;
Focus on quality and safety includes clinical governance, service quality, staff/patient safety, consumer satisfaction;
Partners in paediatric care includes relationships with other paediatric providers, GPs, health organisations, other internal and external stakeholders; and
Improved organisational environment includes financial sustainability, operational efficiency, management structure and culture, innovation, flexible, dynamic and skilled workforce, and information and knowledge management.
Specific strategies have been identified for each of these organisational goals, in line with government direction, and highlight critical success factors required to implement the strategy and expected performance drivers. This detail is provided in the full document of the RCH Strategic Plan (PDF 350KB), which provides the framework for the development of Business Plans across RCH.
