Environmental Scan and Strategy Framework for Primary Care

Dear board chairs, executive directors, and admin leads,
 
We have developed a succinct 2-page Environmental Scan and Strategy Framework for Primary Care to support teams with generative discussions and strategy development. This has been done using a common strategy framework known as PEST, which groups factors that are affecting primary care into four categories.
 
PEST stands for Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, and Technological.
 
Broken into these four categories, the scan lays out current issues in Ontario that boards should keep in mind when doing strategic planning.
 
This is a standard support tool for boards of primary care organizations, and we encourage teams to use it to help develop or update strategic priorities. Also in this document are 10 questions that we encourage boards to ask during their strategy development.
 
We hope this is helpful. We invite you to contact us at info@afhto.ca if you have any questions.
 
Sincerely,
Your AFHTO Team
