Strategic Plan for the University of Kansas Medical Center
Beginning in December 2010, the University of Kansas Medical Center community embarked on an intensive strategic planning effort. Our schools of Nursing, Medicine and Health Professions (as well as our yet-to-launch School of Public Health) all completed strategic "maps" identifying goals and outlining steps to accomplish those aspirations. Our effort coincided with a similar effort on the Lawrence campus.
University of Kansas Medical Center Strategic Map
Hundreds of faculty and staff, including representatives from The University of Kansas Hospital, served on steering committees and participated in work sessions to develop this strategic map reflecting the University of Kansas Medical Center's strategic goals and supporting strategies.
The oval at the top of the Strategic Map depicts the central challenge that KUMC faces over the next three years: "Provide leadership to shape the future of health and health care."
The central challenge is supported by six goals, labeled A through F:
- Goal A: Continuously Advance Educational Excellence
- Goal B: Strengthen Research Quality and Impact
- Goal C: Work as a Campus to Achieve Strategic Clinical Mission Growth
- Goal D: Elevate and Align Outreach and Community Engagement
- Goal E: Increase Organizational Adaptability and Resilience
- Goal F: Secure and Optimize Resources Aligned with Strategic Priorities
In the boxes below each goal, the colors represent key priorities for the first year of implementation.
At the bottom of the map are three cross-cutting goals:
- Goal G: Increase diversity, cultural competence and professionalism across KUMC.
- Goal H: Strengthen communication, alignment, collaboration and synergy internally and externally.
- Goal I: Create and implement a multi-level dashboard that demonstrates quality, value and economic benefit to the state and region.
These goals appear at the bottom of the strategic map to show they are foundational to the strategy. They span the strategic map from left to right in order to depict that efforts to implement the cross-cutting goals need to be embedded in efforts to implement goals A through F. No plan to implement goals A through F will be considered complete unless it includes efforts to implement cross-cutting goals G through I.
