Improving patients’ access to provid­ers, aiming for precision by using data in innovative ways and finding ways to make employees happier, healthier and more productive are among the goals of “Innovation 2023,” the new Strategic Plan for Johns Hopkins Medicine.

The five-year blueprint was developed under the leadership of Paul B. Roth­man, dean of the medical faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, Kevin W. Sowers, president of the Johns Hop­kins Health System and executive vice president of Johns Hopkins Medicine, and the Department of Health Care Transformation and Strategic Planning. The plan will ensure the institution con­tinues to maintain excellence in patient care, education and research despite the uncertainties of health care reform and reductions in research funding.

“Innovation 2023” will steer decisions and business strategies in six critical areas: making Johns Hopkins Medicine easy; supporting the well-being of JHM employees as well as of people in surrounding communities; pushing the boundaries of sci­ence and education; im­proving the quality and affordability of health care; working like one organization; and aim­ing for precision in all aspects of work across the enterprise.
