Corporate Strategies

We regularly develop and evaluate long- and short-term plans to guide the work we do. These corporate strategies

• Address the issues and challenges facing Canada’s health care system
• Reflect the input of our stakeholders
• Are developed collaboratively

Analytical Plan

We respond to the health care system’s needs and challenges by providing relevant, timely information that supports better decisions. Our analyses aim to

• Provide insight into how effectively and efficiently the health care system is meeting the needs of Canadians
• Connect health system performance measurement to health outcomes and population health
• Assist decision-makers in evaluating the impact of changes in policies, practices and processes

The Analytical Plan is reviewed and updated annually based on stakeholder feedback.

Strategic Plan

CIHI’s 2012 to 2017 Strategic Plan is the result of extensive consultation with customers and stakeholders from across Canada. As part of our work to evaluate and reformulate our strategic directions, we

• Assessed and renewed our mandate and vision
• Refocused our values, committing to a core set that reflects our culture
• Identified goals and priorities that respond to your needs

Our plan reflects the needs of

• Our priority customers—funders, policy-makers and health-system managers
• Other important customers, including data providers, analysts, clinicians and researchers
