Our CHOC 2020 Strategic Planning process is making good progress. Six work groups have been formed, each co-led by a CHOC physician and administrative leader.
These groups, which started meeting in December, have been tasked with addressing and developing recommendations related to six key strategic themes that emerged from the work that commenced late last year, including the Strategic Planning Retreat in November and the Physician Strategy Planning Retreat in December. For each of the six strategic areas of focus, a set of initiatives is being developed and will be shared with physician leaders at our next physician retreat which will be held on March 9th.
