Strategic Plan for the University of Kansas Medical Center

Beginning in February of 2011, the University of Kansas Medical Center community embarked on an intensive strategic planning effort. Our schools of Nursing, Medicine and Health Professions (and even 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.

Eight months later, we are no longer planning - we are executing.

University of Kansas Medical Center Strategic Map

This strategic map reflects 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.

Each color represents a key priority for the first year of implementation.

At the bottom of the map are three cross-cutting goals. These goals:

appear at the bottom of the strategic map to show they are foundational to the strategy.
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.
