Strategic Direction
Establishing interprofessional collaboration as fundamental to workforce strength and resilience.
CIHC 5 Year Strategy, 2019 - 2024
Published December 2018
The Board co-created a five year strategy with a strong vision, four overarching priorities and one primary enabler.
Vision
We will be the pre-eminent voice for knowledge, advocacy, education and practice change for interprofessional collaboration that improves the health system, patient outcomes, population health and workforce resilience.
Leadership – Integrate capacity for collaboration into health leadership
Knowledge – Strengthen evidence and research to building understanding of the value of IPE/C
Workforce – Establish IPC as fundamental for workforce strength and resilience
Advocacy – Advocate for system change through evidence
Enabler: Build key relationships with partners and collaborators
Aspirations for the next five years
The CIHC will be a strong, cohesive voice to amplify and influence a national and global conversation that interprofessional collaborative practices are an essential element of health leadership, workforce strength and resilience, good health outcomes and fiscal accountability.
We will have a robust network of partners, leaders and collaborators, inside and beyond health disciplines, producing evidence and innovative resources that drive change in education, leadership, practice, policy, regulation and legislation.
By 2024, we will be seen as the go to place to understand the best, promising practices about how to make interprofessional collaboration truly work in health and social policy, practice and education, and as the pre-eminent source to draw on to influence regional and local issues as they arise.
With this expanded focus on advocacy and outcomes, the Board proposed refreshing the CIHC mandate to include:
The CIHC is the pre-eminent voice for Canadian interprofessional knowledge, education and practice. Our mission is to develop, share and advocate for the most promising practices for the value and effectiveness of interprofessional collaboration in health policy, practice, regulation and education.
