2023-2028 WRHA Strategic Plan - Together We Care

WRHA Strategic Plan

This plan represents our commitment to finding as many ways as possible to work together for each other and our community.

We didn't create this plan on our own. We've known from the beginning of this process that for the plan to be successful, it needed to be informed by the people we work with and serve, who have a stake in a healthier community and a stronger Winnipeg Health Region.

Overview of the 2023-28 Strategic Plan

Shaping Our Plan

100+ Engagement activities and thousands of employees, members of the public, community organizations and service partners provided input as the plan was developed.

Co-Developed Indigenous Health Strategy

Throughout this process, we have been focused on building relationships with First Nations, Métis and Inuit-led organizations and communities, and engagement with the WRHA Indigenous Health team.

This strategic priority will be co-developed with First Nations, Métis and Inuit-led organizations and communities, as well as the WRHA Indigenous Health team. It will be completed in year one and will be implemented beginning in following years. This will include establishing a governance structure and use measures of progress identified collaboratively. This is part of the WRHA’s commitment to meaningful reconciliation, to closing the gaps in equity of access, quality and health outcomes for Indigenous Peoples and addressing racism in our systems and care environments.

OUR CARE

We continue to place our patients, clients and residents, our staff and our community at the centre of all we do. They deserve a strong, safe and responsive health system that empowers them to become advocates for their health and
well-being, while fostering a collaborative approach to improving our health system.

OUR SYSTEM

To deliver an effective and efficient health care system today and for generations to come, we must innovate and optimize our service delivery in collaboration with our partners, patients, clients, residents and the public. We will incorporate the goals outlined in the provincial Seniors Strategy and Mental Health and Addictions Strategy, and focus on strategies designed to increase access to health services and improve system flow.

FOR ALL

There are many people and communities who face barriers to accessing health services in our region, and we need to do more to better understand, anticipate and meet the needs of the diverse populations we serve. We will align our work with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action, and deliver care in a manner that accounts for race, culture, age, language, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, family status and religion or beliefs.


PROGRESS ON OUR PRIORITIES

Everyone has a voice in a well-performing health care system. To be accountable to you, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority developed this landing page with key performance indicators (KPIs) along with important examples of our progress in realizing the 2023-28 Strategic Plan.

Four specific priority areas were highlighted during the strategic planning process in alignment with the Manitoba Health Provincial Focus Areas. Tied to these priorities are seven key measures of performance we will use to evaluate our progress over time.

This dashboard will be updated quarterly and summarize the previous three months of reporting data, ensuring all of us are working together effectively to put the strategic plan into action.
