Clinical Priorities Plan

A Clinical Priorities Plan (CPP) is a strategic document that outlines a hospital's key clinical focus areas to improve patient care, outcomes and overall health system performance. It identifies specific priorities based on factors such as community health needs, emerging health care trends, resource availability and organizational goals. To learn more about the unique and evolving region we care for and how these factors are shaping the future of Osler, read the 'our community' section (pages 4-6) of our 2024-29 Strategic Plan. By providing clear objectives and measurable targets, it helps guide decision-making in alignment with organizational strategic directions and fosters collaboration among healthcare teams to deliver high-quality, people-centered care.

Osler’s 2024-27 CPP will help us deliver on our bold new Vision of 'world-class health care inspired by our people and communities'. It was developed with input from staff, physicians, clinical leaders, and patients and families and aligns with our new 2024-29 Corporate Strategic Plan and the Central West Ontario Health Team Strategic Plan.

Osler’s CPP has a direct impact on how and where we deliver care, with the goal of optimizing patient outcomes, further enhancing community partnerships, delivering care closer to home, and fostering a positive and meaningful work experience.

The CPP is guided by Osler’s five strategic directions—People and Culture, Quality Excellence, Health System Leadership, Organizational Effectiveness and Research and Academics—and the following four key principles:

• Population growth is increasing health care demands and we must develop innovative models of care to increase health service capacity.
• Osler’s community is young, racialized and aging. We must respond to the unique health needs of our population and deliver culturally appropriate services.
• Care close to home is essential.
• Technology will rapidly change healthcare and we must leverage it to improve patient care and provider experience.
