Objectives

25. • STRATEGY is an overall approach, based on
an understanding of the broader context in
which you function, your own strengths and
weaknesses, and the problem you are
attempting to address.

26. • STRATEGY involves the “big picture” – the
overall plan, how you will achieve safe hospital
objectives.
• A strategy gives you a framework within which
to work, it clarifies what you are trying to
achieve and the approach you intend to use.
• It does not spell out specific activities.

27. Example:
Objective: 100% electrical power demand of
hospital available 24/7
•Increase hospital power generator capacity
•Life-line upgrading (electricity)

29. • An evaluation tool that helps you to compare
and choose among alternative problems or
solutions in a rational way
• Helps group or individuals select the best
choice
• Quickly profiles every group member’s views
about relative strengths and weaknesses of
alternatives and graphically see the extent of
disagreement

30. 1. Select criteria for evaluating your alternatives.
• Spend as much time as necessary because
these criteria are the guiding principles by
which you will evaluate alternatives.
1. Write the criteria (e.g. impact, cost of unmet
expectations, cost of implementation, wear
and tear on staff, and so forth) in the boxes
along the top of a matrix chart.
2. Decide on the relative weight of each
criterion.

5. Have each person in the group
independently rate alternative according to
criteria.
6. Have each person total his or her score.
7. Tally the score.
