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 2008/09 was based on the principles adopted within its Organizational Development Strategy which highlighted six key aims.
Hospital's financial performance is assessed and monitored in the following areas: Compliance Framework Monitor 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. |
