Our priorities and our progress

The Strategic Plan

The Hospital was required to produce a Service Development Strategy (SDS) as part of its objectives and its plan for how it would develop over a five year period.

The key strategic objectives which Tapion Hospital set itself in the SDS were:

  • To be the hospital of choice for local people for acute hospital services
  • To be the hospital of choice for a wider population under Choice and PBR
  • To deliver high quality and improve on efficiency and productivity
  • To build on our present capacity
  • To contribute to the growth and development of the local community.
  • To increase our medical marketing strategies to the medical tourism industry.

The Board began a process of reviewing the SDS during March 2009, an exercise which has continued to date. This will culminate with a strategic document developed in conjunction with the staff patients which sets out a vision of the hospital in 2014 together with a more detailed five-year plan which moves the Hospital towards that vision.

The Annual Business Plan

Each year in June Tapion Hospital produces a document setting out its key objectives and priorities for the coming year in an Annual Business Plan for the shareholders. The document contains a brief review of the previous year highlighting the successes and disappointments experienced in the preceding year. The majority of the Business Plan documents the Hospital's work plan for the coming year and forms the foundation of the Hospital's approach to internal performance management.

Halfway through the year the Board produces an Annual Review outlining progress made against the objectives the organization has set itself.

Targets, Aims and Objectives

The Hospital's business plan for 2010 - 2011 was based on the principles adopted within its Organizational Development Strategy which highlighted six key aims.

  • Improving patient safety
  • Improving the way services are provided
  • Increasing the extent to which the public are involved in influencing how the hospital’s services develop
  • Making the hospital more customer focused
  • Improving staff well being
  • Financial surplus in order to invest in hospital facilities.

Performance and targets

Hospital's financial performance is assessed and monitored in the following areas:

Compliance Framework

The quality assurance committee of the reviews the Hospital's key areas of performance through a quarterly self-assessment against key performance measures. These include: waiting times in A&E, waiting times from GP referral to treatment, hospital acquired infections, and the time taken for patients with suspected heart attacks to receive clot-busting drugs. The Board receives a quarterly update on the Hospital's performance against the Compliance Framework. This is entitled "Progress against Targets & Performance Indicators" and is included in the Board papers, that are updated every half year.
