Strategic Planning

Here’s what our team has learned about the importance of strategic plans:

  • Detailed plans increase operations’ effectiveness and cycle time to respond to opportunities
  • Resources are limited. Strategic plans define the intelligent allocation of resources
  • The focus provided in the plan gives the means to say ‘no’ to opportunities that don’t move you closer to your objectives
  • Plans provide ‘health’ and honesty to your organization. ‘Who’s accountable?’ and ‘How are we doing?’ become answerable questions.

Why bother with a plan?

  • Where am I gaining or losing ground compared to competitors?
  • Are utilization patterns changing within defined in-service/ geographic areas?
  • Is now the time to expand existing service lines or launch new ones?
  • How much revenue can I make from investments in emerging markets?
  • What’s the impact of change on existing facilities or recommendations for new locations of service?

What goes into the plans?

  • Market trends
  • Internal billing data and external market information on the population you serve
  • Service line trends vs. Market trends to understand potential opportunities and pitfalls
