OUR VISION, GROWING
WITH OUR COMMUNITY
TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT
HEALTH CARE, SETS US
ON AN ASPIRATIONAL
COURSE OF SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE.
It recognises that to provide
excellent health care, we must
continue to evolve on many levels.
Not only must our infrastructure
expand to keep up with the rapid
pace of population growth in the
northern suburbs, but also the
way we deliver health care must
transform and broaden.
Faced with the increasingly
complex medical needs of our
population, we must be innovative
in providing care beyond the walls
of the hospital to remain relevant
and sustainable.
This means taking greater
accountability for how our patients
are cared for before, during and
after their hospital stay.
Within the hospital we plan to
provide more complex, tertiarylevel
care for certain specialties
based on what we know about
projected community needs into
the future.
We intend to explore how to
improve patient outcomes through
strategic integrated health care
partnerships.
There is a need to have more
comprehensive, in-depth
conversations with other health
care providers so we can better
collaborate for the greater good
of our mutual patients.
We know that health care is in a
time of transition in Australia and
worldwide – the landscape is
changing substantially and rapidly.
This puts us on the verge of an
exciting transition. The future
looks very different to where we
are today – and I know the team
at Joondalup Health Campus
(JHC) will all embrace the chance
to become even more innovative
in their thinking to ensure we
continue to deliver quality care.
This document, Transforming Care,
lays out our intentions for realising
the growth we need to experience
to become the ideal health care
provider; the provider that puts
patient care front and centre whilst
being efficient and providing value
as a private provider of public and
private services.
With this plan we map out what
we intend to focus on and what
our priorities are in each area.
Sitting behind our Strategic Intent
lie the details about how we
plan to realise our vision with our
enabling plans. These include our
clinical services plan; community
services plan; infrastructure
plan; people and culture plan;
safety and quality plan; and our
speciality and departmental plans.
Our vision issues us with a
challenge to work with our partners
and key stakeholders to facilitate
growth. Under this plan, JHC is
committed to doing just that.
In developing this document
we have consulted key
stakeholders from across the
hospital, consumers and leading
international think-tank the
Advisory Board, whose research
has allowed us to deeply consider
what is happening on the global
healthcare stage and the impact it
will have at a local level.
We are very grateful to everyone
who has shared their thoughts,
ideas and solutions throughout
this process.
