SUBJECT: 2024 Annual Service Plan - Q4 Status Report
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
In 2018, the Ontario Ministry of Health (MOH) introduced a new Annual Service Plan (ASP) that Health Units are required to submit each year. To ensure a single, integrated approach to planning, the Planning and Strategic Initiatives (PSI) department worked with the Information Technology (IT) department to align our planning system with the provincial requirements.
With the support of PSI, all internal and external facing departments develop and enter their annual work plans, which are then reviewed and approved by the Leadership Team. These plans are then integrated in the WECHU’s Annual Service Plan for the Ministry.
DISCUSSION
Q4 Progress Update
- There were 162 active Intervention Work Plans evaluated.
