Resolution: 04-05

Approving the Update of the Laguna Honda Hospital 18-Month Strategic Plan

WHEREAS, in November, 2004, the San Francisco Health Commission adopted the Department of Public Health’s 2004 Strategic Plan; and

WHEREAS, the Laguna Honda Hospital Executive Staff conducted a series of Retreats to develop strategic direction for the Hospital for the 18-month period of January 2005 through June 2006; and

WHEREAS, input was provided to each member of the Executive Staff from the 2004 DPH Strategic Plan, the 2004 LHH Strategic Plan, each of the Health Commissioners, and the Director of Health; and

WHEREAS, the purpose of the Hospital’s strategic planning effort has been to: 1) Identify and confirm the Hospital’s Mission, Vision, and goal priorities for the next 18 months, 2) respond to Laguna Honda Hospital’s changing operational, infrastructural and health delivery needs, 3) develop the foundation of a 3-year plan in anticipation of moving into the new hospital building, 4) identify the priorities the Hospital should target for its resources; and

WHEREAS, strategic planning recognizes that the Hospital must prioritize services in order to provide care and services within its budgeted allocation recognizing current fiscal realities but not being driven by them; and

WHEREAS, the strategic planning initiative is aware that the Hospital must adhere to Federal and State regulatory and statutory requirements for licensing and funding; and

WHEREAS, each goal consists of objectives, and each objective consists of strategies wherein meeting strategies fulfills objectives, meeting objectives fulfills goals, and meeting goals fulfills the Hospital’s mission and vision; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the Health Commission adopts Laguna Honda Hospital’s updated Strategic Plan, including its goals and objectives; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Health Commission directs the Hospital to use the updated Strategic Plan in the development of the Hospital’s FY 2005-06 budget proposal; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Hospital shall monitor and evaluate the outcomes and indicators of each strategy, objective, and goal and report periodically to the Laguna Honda Hospital Joint Conference Committee of the Health Commission.

I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was approved by the Health Commission at its March 15, 2005 meeting.

Michele M. Seaton, Executive Secretary to the Health Commission
