Strategic Objectives
The term “strategic
objectives” refers to an organization’s articulated aims
or responses to address major change or improvement, competitiveness
or social issues, and
health care advantages.
Strategic objectives generally are
focused both externally and internally and relate to significant
patient
and other
customer,
market, service, or technological opportunities and
challenges
(strategic
challenges). Broadly stated, they are what an
organization must achieve to remain or become competitive and ensure
long-term
sustainability. Strategic
objectives set an organization’s longer-term directions and
guide resource allocations and redistributions. See the definition of “action plans” for the relationship between strategic objectives and action plans and for an example of each.
