Initial Goals and Objectives
To validate, update and create new goals and objectives for PCSBV given the maturation of the organization and our increased knowledge of the continuum of palliative care. To create a 3 Year business plan and budget from the Goals and Objectives to inform and measure the work of the Board and Operations. To provide a platform to engage with stakeholders and community to (re) establish relationships and to better understand the needs for palliative care on the end-of-life continuum. (PELOC) End of Year Achievements and Successes New goals and objectives were established after a comprehensive 6-month process including the Board and staff members. Once ratified these became anchors for the business plan and the budget, which were tabled with the Board in March 2023. A comprehensive engagement plan has guided the activation and (in some cases reactivation) of relationships at all levels of health, community, and municipality and within the stakeholders of Palliative Care in Alberta including AHS and Alberta Health. The leadership of our CEO has been instrumental in the success of reaching many stakeholders and raising the awareness of our organizational goals and objectives. Based on many conversations with stakeholders we recognized the importance of carrying out a needs assessment to fully understand the role of all participants in the provision of Palliative Care in the Bow Valley. We needed a process whereby together we could discover gaps, overlaps and specifically identify and ratify where PCSBV belongs in the continuum of palliative care from diagnosis of life limiting disease to hospice care and beyond. In early spring a carefully orchestrated needs assessment was initiated. This needs assessment is ongoing, and the results will be brought forward to a community forum later in 2023. This work will be pivotal to our business plan. In early spring a carefully orchestrated needs assessment was initiated. This needs assessment is ongoing, and the results will be brought forward to a community forum in the Fall 2023. This work will be pivotal to our business plan. Lessons Learned Our key learning for this year revolves around the dynamic nature of service provision to those with life limiting diagnosis. This includes societal shifts in beliefs and understanding of how care can be delivered. Our goals and objectives speak to this. We fully understand that these may only be accomplished by being part of a network and securing funding and solid relationships across the continuum.
