As the U.Va. Health System continued to advance
as an outstanding health care institution,
the time called for a strategic plan. The
joint collaboration between all departments
in
the
Health System, spanning the next
10 years, was implemented to focus on the
areas of access,
service
and
communications.
The plan’s ultimate goal: to enhance access
for patients throughout the Health
System. Reaching goals will require some
changes. “We are working
to
make
systems consistent across
the Health
System,”
said
Pamela Cipriano, co-chair of the Access,
Service and Communication Committee. Full
