Measure patient experience of future health sector planning and act on what it shows.
Planning for the Future Challenges of the Health Sector
Turn future health sector planning from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess future health sector planning on documented evidence of consistent practice. Clinical staff will work around a process for sector planning that obstructs care, and they will be right to. The most reliable predictor of sound this area of health and pharmaceutical services is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It establishes a shared vocabulary for future health sector planning so that teams can disagree productively about it. Moving the health and pharmaceutical services discipline from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in sector planning before they become incidents. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about future health sector planning in their own setting. It is written for people who have to make sector planning work with the resources they already have. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this part of health and pharmaceutical services sustainable.
