ABSTRACT
What Is a Facility Plan? Before a facility plan can be created, an organization must first have a mission, vision, and strategic plan. The mission describes what an organization does. Often, in healthcare, organizations have missions related to providing high-quality, compassionate care to patients. A vision describes why the organization does what it does. Many healthcare organizations are faith based, and therefore their vision may include references to fulfilling God’s will or mercy on people. An organization’s strategic plan outlines how the organization will go about accomplishing its mission and vision. The strategic plan typically includes details on growth plans to maintain viability. For example, a strategic plan may describe how the organization plans to become the primary provider of cardiac services for the community.
