The Department's strategic planning process is directed by the Department of Planning and Budget, as well as the Council on Virginia's Future. The Council has established seven long term goals to guide the Commonwealth, with one of these goals being "Inspire and support Virginians toward healthy lives and strong and resilient families." You can find more information about the Council, its goals and the state-wide strategic planning efforts at www.vaperforms.virginia.gov.
The Agency Strategic Plan identifies seven goals for the Department, two of which have performance measures considered by the Governor to be key to the Commonwealth's overall success. Additionally this plan:
- Contains a wealth of information about the Department, including our mission, vision, and values.
- Includes an agency executive progress report that describes current service performance, productivity enhancements, major initiatives, Virginia rankings and trends, customer trends and coverage, future directions and expectations, and impediments.
- Provides a substantial amount of background information about the Department and services system, including descriptions of the Department's statutory authority, its customers, agency partners, and agency products and services (including anticipated changes and factors influencing service delivery).
- Includes agency financial resources, human resources, information technology, and capital summaries.
The Department also completed 15 service area plans that are aligned to state facility services, community services, CO functions, and Office of the Inspector General responsibilities. These plans are as follows:
- State Facility Services Area Plans: Facility-based Education and Skills Training, Forensic and Behavioral Rehabilitation Security, Aftercare Pharmacy Services, Inpatient Pharmacy Services, Geriatric Care Services; Inpatient Medical Services; State Mental Retardation Training Center Services, State Mental Health Facility Services, and Facility Administrative and Support Services
- Community Service Area Plans: Community Substance Abuse Services, Community Mental Health Services, and Community Mental Retardation Services
- Central Office Service Area Plans: Administrative and Support Services and Regulation of Health Care Service Providers
- Office of the Inspector General Service Area Plan: Facility and Community Programs Inspection and Monitoring.
Each service area plan describes the service area's responsibilities, its alignment to the agency mission, statutory authority, customer base, partners, and its products and services. It also includes a financial summary, objective(s), performance measure(s), and strategies.
