WA Health Operational Plan 2013

WA Health
Operational Plan 2013–2014
Version 3.1 (revised 10 March 2014)
WA Health
Operational Plan 2013–2014
Introduction
WA Health – our Western Australian public health system – provides safe, high quality health service delivery to nearly 2.3 million Western Australians.
We serve our entire community, regardless of income, physical location or health status. WA Health is made up of more than 37,000 people and we
handle every aspect of health service delivery at hundreds of sites across our State.
The WA Health Operational Plan 2013-2014 (Operational Plan) offers a succinct and high-level picture of the work we do each day to assist all
Western Australians to achieve healthier, longer and better quality lives. With a commitment to our leadership values (care, respect, excellence,
integrity and teamwork), we will strive to deliver the new priorities for the coming year as well as ongoing, high level projects.
Our mission to improve, promote and protect the health of Western Australians is supported by the four Strategic Intent Pillars and the priorities
within the 2013-2014 Operational Plan are grouped under each of these pillars:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Caring for individuals and the community
Caring for those who need it most
Making best use of funds and resources
Supporting our team.
The Operational Plan aligns with the WA Health Strategic Intent 2010-2015 and its release each year enables each Health Service and Division within
WA Health to develop localised operational plans that detail priorities specific to each work area. This umbrella approach to planning ensures that
everyone in WA Health is working towards the same priorities.
The Operational Plan does not aim to provide exhaustive coverage of the high-level work underway across WA Health. Key areas of attention for 20132014 are apparent under each of the pillars, for example safety and quality, clinical services planning, Aboriginal health and workforce. In addition, the
National Health Reform provides an opportunity to further invest in a number of areas, such as emergency and elective reform and sub-acute care to
improve service delivery.
WA Health has a comprehensive quarterly and annual reporting process in place to monitor achievement against its priorities. This accountability
process acts not only as a catalyst to continually improve our health service, but also to benchmark WA Health services against other jurisdictions. WA
Health has delivered an annual operational plan and evaluation process since 2005-2006 and is proud of the achievements that have been delivered
over this period.
The Operational Plan is a working document and may be updated each quarter to reflect updated priorities or new initiatives. As quarterly changes are
made, the updated Operational Plan will be placed on http://www.health.wa.gov.au.
